Hello all,

I was planning to use 2 NICs on one server and have routed
deal with gateway acquisition through IRDP ou RIP, however,
if the NIC itself fails, I would like to preserve that NIC's
IP address, because there are some well knowed services 
using that address.

Is this possible? How?

Thanks,
jp
