If you only wanted to do failover at the network level with shared IP 
address, you could use lagg.

However, since you have different IP subnets for each network, you 
probably want to look at using geom_fox.  You set up two iSCSI 
connections, one to each controller, and geom_fox on top to make it 
appear as a single disk device.


Hope that helps!
