Upgraded a box to 3.6.7 yesterday, and started noticing it becoming unreachable occasionally. Watching arp traffic, it appears it is sometimes arping for the gateway using the wrong source IP in the requests. Sample trace from bond1:

11:10:13.489388 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:10:14.489372 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:10:15.489358 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:10:16.489517 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:10:16.489518 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.14, length 28 11:10:16.490025 ARP, Reply 10.253.128.13 is-at 00:d0:04:b1:d4:00, length 46 11:11:43.618851 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.14, length 28 11:11:43.619406 ARP, Reply 10.253.128.13 is-at 00:d0:04:b1:d4:00, length 46 11:15:05.792656 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:15:06.789369 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:15:07.789338 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28 11:15:08.789939 ARP, Request who-has 10.253.128.13 tell 10.253.128.6, length 28

Seems to be getting bond0 and bond1 IPs confused here:

12: bond0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP

    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:20 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.253.128.6/30 brd 10.253.128.7 scope global bond0
17: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP 
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:22 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.253.128.14/30 brd 10.253.128.15 scope global bond1 

This box is still up, so if there is any additional information I can provide before rebooting it, please let me know.
