Running dual NIC's on Win2003 server, Internet doesn't always work

Hello, this is a new problem that has started on a server that has worked
well for some time now. I have a server with 2 NIC's installed. One NIC
directly connects to a webserver, the other NIC connects to a network switch.
Ideally, all web traffic would go out NIC2, but when it stops working and I
perform a traceroute to a website it goes out NIC1. A while later everything
works ok and web traffic is going out NIC2. NIC1 has a static IP address,
NIC2 has a dynamic address retreived from the internal DHCP server. Do I
need to enter some static routes or something? Any help is appreciated.

What's the topology of your network? What subnetworks and what
addresses are assigned to which NICs and hosts?

No.
