Used you'll find dc(4) (if you have space for a long PCI card)
and hme(4), or there's em(4) gigabit. I suspect that onboard
bridges (as often[usually?] found on quad nics) increase the
chances of things not working correctly if the motherboard
isn't quite supported/compatible.

The vlan idea makes a fair bit of sense - carp(4) over vlan(4)
over trunk(4) over $some_nic(4) or some other mix - but if this
is used for security be aware that your switch then becomes a
security device. Google will find more information, including
