Thank you all:
most of you said it's because of the switch failing, as Allan West explains:
-----------------------------------------
One of our switches flaked out and died.
While it was on it's way out, it would reflect packets with a machine's MAC
address and IP address back to the host in such a way that Solaris saw it as
another machine trying to steal the address. Replacing the switch fixed the
problem.
