VRRP maybe able to help you out, although it was really designed to allow two nics on different servers to share a "virtual" ip address. If one nic (or server) fails, the second nic (server) takes over the IP address and serves it. However, I have two machines here, both with 2 nics in and vrrpd seems to work just fine in swapping ip addresses over. Is that what you want?
