I had a similar problem just last week but assumed it was due to my cheapo, locally-made switch. I did notice that this occured whenever the switch was turned off and on in order to connect another machine to the switch. However it turned out not to be act of adding machines but turning the switch on and off. So, I switched all the servers off, turned the switch off and on, restarted the servers and haven't turned the switch off since... all works fine. (using FBSD 2.1.7) May be different with your switch but worth a try if you haven't already done it. (Either that or sacrifice a chicken... it's all voodoo) Good luck !
