no, the solution is very simple.
1. set up 3 default gateways on the system (1 for every card) with equal
"prices".
This will do fair loadbalancing between all of them and failover - if
one or 2
of them fail - the traffic will go through the other available route.
2. iproute tools is your friend for more complexed configurations. Read the
"Advanced Routing howto"
