Echoing Peter, I have used the linux bponding with LACP on the switch
to bond 2 gige linls together and was able to get 1800 Mb/s through
them on a Sun x4200. One thing to watch out for is your inter switch
trunks. We also had to upgrade our interswitch trunks, but I assume
your network is already designed to handle this kind of traffic.

Yes, it is called bonding. It has several options
for configuration, you would be looking at running
it in a load balancing configuration with LACP,
the /etc/modprobe.conf settings for that would
be something like:
options bond0 lacp_rate=1 mode=4 miimon=100
But this will also depend on your switch vendor.
I've only used two(2) NICs in a trunk, so I would
imagine you have some testing ahead of you to not only
get it to function as you wish, but also get the desired
throughput.
Thanks
Peter

We run two SUN V490 Server as NBU 6.0 Media Server.
Over four 1GB NICs we have a SUN Trunking running.
Now we plan to migrate the Media Applikation to four DELL r710 Servers.
Is there a Redhat Linux feature like SUN Trunking availiable ?
