--- Comment #3 from marcel@herrbischoff.com ---
Rodney, thanks for the information. I cannot change the NICs since the machines
affected are dedicated servers provided by a commercial data center. Since
their pricing is quite competitive, it appears this may reflect on the hardware
side. However, I have Linux installations running on similar hardware and they
never displayed this behavior.

I'm aware that FreeBSD values clean implementation over quick hacks and issues
like this one are probably hard to troubleshoot. On average, the issue comes up
every two months and I wasn't able to reproduce it. From what I gather, this
will likely remain unfixed.

I have asked the data center to switch hardware and see where this gets me. If
this is not possible, I guess I'm up for some long-tail debugging, provided a
team member like you feels this would benefit the project and is prepared to
dive into this with me.
