super simple now.
linux has the bonding driver/

here is a sample. If you want to use tagged vlans it will be slightly 
different. Let me know if you want a tagged vlan sample.

< /etc/sysconfig/network >
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=smtcorms04.samuelmanutech.com
VLAN=yes
GATEWAY=10.10.0.253
GATEWAYDEV=bond0

< /etc/modprobe.conf >
alias bond0 bonding
options bonding miimon=100 mode=1
alias eth0 tg3
alias eth1 tg3

< /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 >
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0

< /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 >
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
SLAVE=yes
MASTER=bond0

< /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0 >
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=10.10.4.27
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
