Problem can be summed up in 4 words fixed in two stages...

Hub to Switch.  Duplex.

Changing the DMZ hub to a switch fixed about half the retransmits on one
server, and then the rest of the picture was cleaned up by getting the
various switches connected to the PIX set correctly.  The switches were all
set to auto.  We were able to hardcode one switch to match the PIX, but the
other 2 are auto only, so we changed the PIX interface config to match
that.  I see some new switches in our future... these were patched together
pretty quickly several years ago by a previous admin.  I had a hunch they
were a bottleneck, but never had a problem to go with the hunch until this
throughput issue.

Thanks for the help!

Well the numbers aren't as low as I'd like to see but this quantity of
errors over this time period isn't going to drop speeds by the amount
your statistics shown. It might hurt by a few percentage points at
worst.  So now you need to find a new place to look, perhaps one of the
servers on the DMZ that you are taking to. Can you FTP between servers
in the DMZ and test speed there? That would test those servers
connection to the switch there and eliminate that as a problem. Make
sure you push data both in and out of the target server just to be sure.
