Dave,
Good point. Didn't think about the virtual MAC.
It IS very true about your issue gets more interesting if you start the
multiple IP thingy. Not to mention multiple gateways!

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
