A RELENG_6 box from Feb 7th is seeing a few more

bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
bge0: link state changed to DOWN
bge0: link state changed to UP


errors since updating from the sources a few months ago.  The box 
does dedicated DNS resolution for clients, so it sees a lot of small 
packets.  The load avg is not that high and does not seem to 
correlate with the watchdog timeouts.  Any ideas what might be the 
cause of it ?  Doesnt seem to be cables and we tried a new switch 
port. The NIC is onboard
