This isn't going to work -- packets will be transmitted in round-robin
manner, which is not what you want for failure protection. What you
need is to use xmitAlg=2 (NG_ONE2MANY_XMIT_ALL) so that each frame is
delivered out of all interfaces, and then enable STP on your switches.
I didn't test it, but it should work. The example in the ng_one2many(4)
manpage, like the one you quote above but with four interfaces, is to
demonstrate how to set up a 400Mbit/s connection between two hosts.
