Ok, I moved the traffic off of re1 (should have tried this before) to re2 - 
and it seems (so far) stable, so maybe just re1 is having issues...

dmesg for re1 is:

"
pcib2: <ACPI PCI-PCI bridge> irq 17 at device 5.0 on pci0
pci2: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib2
re1: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F/G PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 
0x2000-0x20ff mem 0xf7c00000-0xf7c00fff,0xf7b00000-0xf7b03fff irq 17 at 
device 0.0 on pci2
re1: Using 1 MSI-X message
re1: ASPM disabled
re1: Chip rev. 0x2c000000
re1: MAC rev. 0x00200000
miibus1: <MII bus> on re1
rgephy1: <RTL8169S/8110S/8211 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus1
rgephy1:  none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 10baseT-FDX-flow, 100baseTX, 
100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX-flow, 1000baseT, 1000baseT-master, 
1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, 1000baseT-FDX-flow, 
1000baseT-FDX-flow-master, auto, auto-flow
re1: Ethernet address: 00:0d:xx:xx:xx:xx
"

I'll leave it running on that for now, and try to crash the box a few times 
(i.e. sling a lot of traffic through it repeatedly).

Unfortunately we need all 3 interfaces working when these boxes are 
deployed - so longer term, avoiding re1 isn't really an option :(

Since moving from re1 to re2 (and rebooting) - I've not seen any watchdog 
timeout errors for any re interface.
