Hi again everyone.

Sorry to answer my own question but I found the solution. Isn't that the
way, right after you post to the mailing list its solved!

Anyway I found this thread from a couple years ago and it talks about it
being an ARP issue (
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2010-March/msg00038.html). I
enabled portfast on my switch ports that connects to my hosts and this
solved it. I guess my servers can restart faster than my switch ports.
