You want to do Layer 2 redundancy.  Layer 2 redundancy means you'll
float a virtual MAC address between the NICs.  If you're using
Intel-based NICs (which really is the way to go here), then you install
Advanced Networking Services (iANS) and set up the NICs up in a fault
tolerant team.
 
There's no issue putting one server with two NICs on the same LAN/VLAN.
 Life gets a little more interesting if you start assigning multiple IP
addresses to each NIC.  Be careful.

Any know problems having my Citrix XP servers have 2 nic on the same
subnet?

My new Dell Blade servers has dual nics for redundancy. Can/will this
cause
any problems?

Thanks,jb
