That's an awful lot of work you're going to. If you really want to
shoot your foot off, it's not necessary to take such careful aim.
Most of what you're trying isn't really that hard; you want to
configure one of the interfaces, and keep the other "down" until the
first develops a problem, then bring the first one down and raise the
second with the same IP configuration. The hard part is *detecting*
any problems, especially without running a spanning tree. You'll need
to do some sort of hack, probably at the IP layer, to raise an alarm
when connectivity to some specific destination fails.
