You'll get timed out and clients will route around you.  When you're
back online and the dirserver recognizes it, you'll get clients routed
to you.  

If you're flapping that much, it's better to just not be online at all.
The "line card" excuse means your provider oversubscribed the upstream
link; or they actually have a failed line card, but those are usually
replaced quickly.
