freebsd boxes' ARP cache expired for that machine. Usually this only happens with:
- broken DHCP clients (not requesting it's old ip back upon reboot).
- broken DHCP servers (not maintaining lease state properly to
assign clients their old addresses)
- tight DHCP address spaces (ie. the DHCP server must reuse previously
leased IP addresses to accomodate
new DISCOVERS).or a combination of the above.
Either that or you have a whole bunch of machines that use gratuitous ARP to advertise the new interfaces in a failover situation.

Googling doesn't seem to give me a good answer as to why. This is 4.8-STABLE
