Asking the obvious questions:
Have you swapped the ports around on the cable modem between the two
computers, to see if the cable modem has a bad port?
Have you swapped cables, to see if you have a bad cable?
Yes, great questions, and I realized that after I posted.
The server has two ethernet ports - I've tried connecting a completely different ethernet cable to the other port on the server to a completely different port on the cable modem and the problem persists.
To add to the complexity of this, I have a SuperMicro E5-1650 2U that I just brought out of retirement and booted with a USB stick running sysrescue and it also has the same "problem," without even doing anything. I don't understand how now these two servers are any different than the other server on the same cable modem that doesn't experience any of these issues.
As I posted in my follow-up, the problem doesn't happen when tcpdump is running (now on both servers).
Maybe it is a software problem? iptables/etables? ethtool settings? I'm using shorewall on the server without the problem, but the problem persists even with disabling all firewall rules.
The "real" problem I'm trying to address is why I'm seeing so many DNS timeouts:

Thanks,
