Well, you could buy a managed switch from HP or Cisco. :-)
Personally, I have no idea how to do this sort of thing with Linux; but
it's probably better to do it at the backbone with a reliable switch than
to throw in extra servers with multiple network cards all over the place
(which would increase the point of failure several times...incoming cable,
NIC, server, NIC, outgoing cable, etc).
