I have a reasonably high timeout configured (5 sec connection timeout and 25 sec global timeout).

There's a reasonable chance that it's a server limitation, either on the
maximum number of concurrent connections, or deliberate throttling.
You'd have to contact the server administrator to verify that, though.
You could also look at a network trace when that happens to verify that
your app is sending the correct data and that the response (either DNS or
TCP/HTTP) isn't received.
