can't ping IPs after server is rebooted

Gurus,
 
I need your help. I have qfe card. The qfe0 and qfe1 ports are both connected to the same subnet and same switch. We do this for failover purpose. If qfe0 fails, we can still access the server through qfe1. If I configure the IPs for qfe0 and qfe1 manually, I can ping them from the other hosts. But everytime I reboot the server, even if the /etc/hostname.qfe0, /etc/hostname.qfe1, /etc/defaultrouter, /etc/netmasks, /etc/hosts and local-mac-address?=false are configured properly, I can not ping the IPs. The ifconfig -a shows that the IPs are set for the qfe0 and qfe1 and both interfaces are using same mac address but I can't ping them. I have to unplumb and plumb the interfaces again and reassign the IPs to them to be able to ping them. What is wrong with my configuration, why the IPs are not pinging when the server gets rebooted.
 
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sunsa
