This would make greater sense/benefit/appropriateness on two different

vvrpd was designed just "to prove the concept" and is not recommended in production environment.
keepalived (http://keepalived.sourceforge.net/) works great for me.

there are several; http://www.linux-ha.org/ is a good place to start.

Does anyone know of a system service that will provide automatic IP
failover on a system with dual (redudnant) Ethernet adapters?

For example, I can simulate this by manually deactivating eth0 and
activating eth1, although it takes about 15 secs for the MAC address to
be updated.

It should be relatively simple to write a program that monitors the
current Ethernet interface and does the change-over automatically (and
forces the MAC update), but before re-inventing the wheel, I suspect
there is already a system program that already does this, I just haven't
found one on Red Hat 8.0.


thanks in advance,
