Don't think that can be it, since (a) the other processes are not being denied their http requests and (b) requests are going to two servers.
    Have you checked your firewall settings?  It may be configured to
deny requests temporarily on hosts it thinks may be attempting an HTTP DDoS, or perhaps something similar. Nathan mentioned the same, but is it possible that you're only considering a hardware firewall? Unless explicitly configured, a software firewall on the OS level could be blocking all matching traffic on all interfaces (including the LAN).

Rene, are you forking the command line script for each request by any chance? if you are remember to do an exit() after each one is finished otherwise the new forked process will stay open until cleaned up by the system (or until the thread that forked is finished) which could be creating you're problem. apologies if way off the mark, just attempting some lateral thinking on this one!
