I can't imagine he is rebooting once a week, though if he was I would lean more towards Bryan on this.

Only time I have seen macs flipping like this so often is when your have bonded your nics. Are you doing a load balance or active/passive setup on your nics?

Assuming this is RHEL or equivalent, do you have a HWADDR line assigned to each interface in network config? Otherwise, the physical nics can show up in different order depending on how they're enumerated on boot.

    The cables haven't been touched.  I see nothing in the logs.  My
    assumption was, there's something wrong with the switch.  They insist
    the switch is fine and it's got to be the server.

    Has anyone seen this before?  It isn't affecting operations, but
    they do
    get warnings about this, and it's always nice to at least get an
    explanation for weird things :-)
