In my experience it is usually due to either a network issue between 
the network-test server and the main Hobbit server, or a very high
load on the main Hobbit server causing it to take very long to accept
incoming connections. Try correlating the time of your problem with
the load on the Hobbit server (e.g. look at the "vmstat" graphs from
that time).
