It sounds a bit like an ARP refreshing issue. On large networks, the ARP caches of the switches might take their time to refresh their tables, and the more intermediate switch/routing stations/paths are different from "client" to the DB, the longer it might take to renew them.

Can you or your network admin trace the managed switches that are immediately involved on client and server side?
