are you using ldap or just a config file ? We have seen such issues with LDAP and improperly set indexes.

I found that after around 25Mbps UDP starts to lose packets, and it gets worse and worse the fast you go.  I tried every virtual card type (e1000, VMXNET2, VMXNET3) with the same results.  I even tried on different servers, and they were also showing UDP packet loss.  Physical boxes on the same network showed no packet loss until I pushed their NICs to the limit (1Gbps).
