I currently have eight worker machines are on two Gbit LANs. Right now, they are configured:
10.10.0.0/24 with cloud1=10.10.0.11 ... cloud8=10.10.0.18 ... plus a small number of other machines 10.10.10.0/24 with c1=10.10.10.11 ... c8=10.10.10.18 ... on a dedicated switch all by themselves.
To make use of the full bandwith of both LANs, I had thought of playing with /etc/hosts files to switch networks for each machine with a higher address than the host in question. Think of it as one LAN flows only uphill, the other flows only downhill. So on machine Cloud4, for example, the hosts file would appear as...
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
