And then some. I'm extremely concerned by the idea that these should both be live simultaneously, rather than a failover scenario. Starting to feel strongly that passing the problem off to firmware is a better approach.

Not so much the I/Fs themselves, more "the network" (i.e. some component we haven't even done a risk analysis on, and can't control anyway) failing requiring a shift to the alternate physical network. AFAIK, none of the rest of the network can support similar functionality...
