This is what I do as well, except by either not using a switch (direct links

balance-rr spoofs MAC addresses which will confuse the connected switch.
Anyway, it goes nice speed results. I do have to tweak tcp_reordering though
in my SLES machines. If I don't, I hardly get more speed than a single link.
Interesting. My balance-rr setup for DRBD uses two dedicated GbE links
between two Intel cards on each of two Dell PE2900 servers, straight
through with no switches, and using MTU=9000. I have had no problems with
packet reordering at all (all tcp parameters are stock). I _do_ see some
out of order packets, of course, but the counts are very small. An iperf
test between the two systems gives 1.97 Gb/sec. I'm using CentOS 5.5
x86_64.
In different applications, I use balance-rr with two links to a single
Dell 48-port switch. No problems with that either, although it is less
traffic.
