I got the package from UPS today, and installed the new cards in the firewall. Packet loss dropped from 6% to 0% instantly, and all of the associated problems were resolved.

I keep getting 4%-8% packet loss to the internal side of the firewall. The exterior side remain rock solid at 0% packet loss. I think the internal network interface has died - I ordered a couple of new ethernet cards - hopefully this should be a quick fix when they get here.
