The idea makes me cringe, but someone has decided that it would be a "good" idea (for certain values of good) to have 2 network ports on the same system with the same MAC & IP addresses (well, they'll never be on the same physical network)... I don't think this is sane, sensible or conforming to general networking principles; am I being fair to refuse it? I can see all sorts of problems, and I maintain that it is the responsibility of an upstream router to perform any NAT that is required (along with the redundancy switching).
And if I'm being more-than-usually unreasonable, is there a way of achieving it without rewriting chunks of the stack?
