(I run one server like >this for a half year now) Call me lazy. :-) Shoudn't the switch figure out after a few packets that NIC1 contains addresses 10.... and NIC2 addresses 192... and not send the wrong packets to the wrong NIC? Or are you using a HUB in your installations and thus the wrong packets being sent? Isn't the purpose of the switch to avoid this behavior either automatically or via manual onfiguration of the switch ports?
