Yes the aoe module switches between the device sources every few
seconds, you can see it with aoeping. It's the default multipath
behavior of the aoe mudule.

Yes.

Thanks for your feedback,

I'll have to figure out where to leave the fail-over decision, 
- at the aoe module side if possible
- at the qaoed/ggaoed side by adding/omitting aoe devices.

The following looks like a possible failover setup
