Hi,

Here is my situation...

I have a server and want to build redundancy at network level and its running RHEL 4.5

My server has two NIC cards and one(Primary)ETH0 would be used for actual application and other(Backup)ETH1 for the data backup and they both are isolated.

I cannot insert one more NIC card into the system so there is no way i can use network bonding.

I want to develop a mechanism where in if the primary NIC fails it should automatically bring up the IP of the Primary NIC as virtual interface on ETH1 as ETH1:1 and when the Primay NIC card ETH0 is back it should fall back to ETH0.

Please help.
