They both have nic's, i wanted to do it so that i could test one machine,
and if it failed bring up the link on the other one without having to do a
lot of farting around replugging connections. Currently to do test, i have
to bring the link down (which cahnges the ip when i reconnect) and while
the link is down my mail server is unreachable (local mail server that
is), and this is obviously a problem. I don't wish to cause mail
bounces intenntionally. So i was looking for aquick (temp) way to switch
between the two.
