>Description:
We have three vlans connected to a parent interface rl0, and have had flaky connections through the server since it was set up this way.  After much experimentation, it turns out that disabling the vlan interface and shifting one of the connections to it's own real NIC fixes the problem.  The NIC rl0 is not faulty, as it is still acting as the external connection to the internet (the machine is a firewall/gateway/NAT box).
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Buy another NIC until you run out of PCI slots like we have :(
