You have two ssh sessions here. AFAICT, it's the first one
(workstation->server 1) that randomly disconnects, right?

It would seem to me that something between your workstation and server
1 is possibly mishandling TCP options (being it sack, timestamps or
both). Is there a router or a firewall in between?
Try doing a traffic capture between both and see why it hangs. If
you're hesitant to post the binary traffic capture, post the text
version of it with anonymized IP addresses. Just please be sure to
disable ssh protocol so it would include TCP details on it then.
