I had the same problem with a machine on the local ethernet that was using dhcp. I fixed it by editing the dhclient-script (it might be in /etc/or /usr/local/etc depending on your configuration). I noticed that "netstat -rn" gave one additional routing table entry after the client got its address via dhcp. I found the line route add $new_ip_address 127.1 >/dev/null 2>&1 and commented it out. Things were ok since then. I am not sure that was the right thing to do though. Hope this helps.
