Did you consider using STP? Are these switches RSTP capable? You could create a low priority bridge acting as leaf node in the STP domain. This will provide redundancy between different ethernet switches, I just don't know if RSTP converges fast enough for your needs. Just be a bit careful selecting the bridge's priority. A priority of 61440 will be probably fine. I am *almost* sure, that if_bridge works over if_laggs, perhaps you could combine the two. HTH, Nikos
