I have an interesting question for you. I have my server with 2 onboard 1Gb NIC's and an add-in 10GB NIC configured to failover from the 10GB to the first 1gb then the 2nd 1Gb. What I would like to know is can I safely configure the following setup? Bond the 2 1GB into an aggregation (my switch will support this). I am assuming this would then be eth1 (with eth2 bound to it) Then configure Eth0 as the 10gb with failover to the aggregated eth1? I hope I have explained that clear enough.
