Okay, that helps quite a bit -- we know that the packets aren't getting
there.  Now the question is if they are being sent and if they are, where
are they going??

I *really* need to see this from tomcat's point of view.  Try to find a
quiet moment and sneak a reboot in.

While you're at it check the routing tables and arp tables and make sure
nothing silly's happened to the linux box's entries, ie now it points into
space.  Also check that no one has swiped the linux box's ip address.
