oh good- glad to find out im not crazy. we do have 2 pNICs in the external facing vSwitch.  Even when setting them as active/passive, its still an issue.

so its a confirmed issue with vmware- do they have any intention on correcting it? do we know?

In my experience, as long as you only have on pNIC per vSwitch, it
works just fine. As soon as you add a second pNIC to the vSwitch, it
creates a loop and confuses the linux bridge (you can watch the MAC
bounce between ports if you do a standard ping from one machine and a
broadcast ping from another machine). We were using Broadcom NICs.
