&gt; Speaking of failover is it possible to install 2 NICS in Linux and put

I don't know the details, but there is a &quot;NIC bonding&quot; howto for linux
that explains what can be done.

I think you end up sharing a single IP address between the 2 NICS.  It
may require that your switch understand bonding.

With SUSE, I believe they ship that howto as part of the distro.
