Hey,

According to me, it's easier to change the NIC, since your
intermittent issues may happen under load only.

With HAProxy, I can't see anything you can currently do to avoid this behavior.
I mean that NIC intermittent issues may happen under load, so haproxy
would consider server down.
load decreasing, NIC will work properly again and haproxy would
consider server operational.
and so on for a lonnnnnnnnnng time.

Don't try to hide a hardware issue using a load-balancer...

cheers
