Static keys work just fine.

No real packet duplication occuring, just retries from the server,

The loopback tests work fine as well.

I'm thinking it may be some sort of issue with my CA.  I'm using the
openssl CA script with a slightly tweaked openssl.cnf - nothing
exciting, just corrected default values for fields (country, locality,
etc).  I just noticed that the server is running OpenSSL 0.9.6b - that
could be part of it.  I'm trying to find an upgrade for RH8.0 - any
other ideas?
