Bob.. I dont *know* how linux routing copes with two interfaces to the
same network.
Ideally it should open either at random, and since they have unique
source addresses pings should always get back. Nothing outside the
machine itself knows whether it has two interfaces or is in fact two
separate machines.
I just know that my gut feeling is not to do that, at all.
When you have all these interfaces up, what does ifconfig show? and route?
