Don't know if it's relevant, but when the box looses contact I get this on
other boxes on the same lan:

Before:
worf:~# arp -a | grep kgw
kgw.coretrek.no (217.68.117.30) at 0:d0:b7:5a:9b:b4 [ethernet]

And then it looses contact:
worf:~# arp -a | grep kgw
kgw.coretrek.no (217.68.117.30) at (incomplete) [ethernet]

(kgw.coretrek.no being the box which looses contact).
