[CentOS] network intermitent, not sure if virtualization issue

This only happens every so often, not like every 5 minutes.
When I woke up today and tried to access VM I could not.
Via the actual host I could see it was running and actually use it via 
virtual
manager. I was only able to access ftp, http, etc after a network restart.
The network restart shut down the connection, it did not fail then 
start, it
shut down and reupped.

On the virtual machine, which is having the issue, this is my eth0
(I have been commenting out things to see if anything changes the issue.)

DEVICE="eth0"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=52:54:00:D1:B3:46
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=199.204.135.123
#PREFIX=28
GATEWAY=199.204.135.113
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=8.8.4.4
DOMAIN=mike.hoffmanartdesign.com
#DEFROUTE=yes
#IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no
#IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"
UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03
usrctl=no

on the main machine which experiences no problems.

eth0 and 1 onboard, eth 2 add on card, all are the same except 
hwaddress, uuid, etc.
DEVICE="eth1"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:25:90:2B:23:C3
TYPE=Ethernet
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
NAME="System eth1"
UUID=9c92fad9-6ecb-3e6c-eb4d-8a47c6f50c04
usrctl=no

(tried playing with bonding mode, but got nowhere there, again, the host 
machine never has an issue)

DEVICE="bond0"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
BOOTPROTO=none
BRIDGE=vbr0
ONBOOT=yes
userctl=no
#IPADDR=199.204.135.120
#NETWORK=199.204.135.112
#NETMASK=255.255.255.240
#GATEWAY=199.204.135.113
BONDING_OPTS="mode=6 miimon=100"


DEVICE="vbr0"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
TYPE="Bridge"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPADDR=199.204.135.120
NETWORK=199.204.135.112
NETMASK=255.255.255.240
GATEWAY=199.204.135.113
DNS1=8.8.8.8
DNS2=8.8.4.4
ONBOOT=yes
userctl=no

not sure why vnet0 shows up in ifconfig, it is there and sometimes it is 
not depending on boot....
