Yikes. That doesn't look happy to me.

The happens to other servers as well, hence, should the Error genuine?

Since the problem gone after server reboot, there must be scripts to
restart the network interface. Where are the scripts doing this? I was
thinking just to run (stop / start) these scripts when the problem
recurr (it happened again yesterday) rather rebooting.

It's really unclear to me where the problem is coming from. I _doubt_
that it really has anything to do with the network interfaces, but
ifconfig(1M) can be used to shut them down and restart them.

This sounds like a name services or application problem of some sort.
