I've been fighting an intermittent networking issue with my Unraid server (currently on version 6.12.4) for some time now, and I'm hoping one of you will be able to point me in the right direction.
The symptom that I am noting is that outbound network connections to the WAN initiated by my Unraid server intermittently don't work. This state will persist for a few minutes, then output network connections to the WAN will start working again.
For example, I can be logged in to my server via SSH, with a `ping` command checking connectivity with Google DNS at `8.8.8.8`:

This affects traffic specifically from my Unraid server destined for the WAN. Pinging my router or another LAN device does not show this behavior. VMs running on my server are not affected. Docker containers appear to be affected.
Do you have any ideas what could be causing this intermittent issue? Any suggestions where I can go to troubleshoot further? Thanks in advance for your help.
