2 NICs on SMP nodes

hi all,

i was wondering if someone could give me any info relating dual
processor cluster nodes with 2 NICs each, with each cpu controlling
one NIC of each node. (That is, cpu0 tied up with eth0 receiving,
processing and sending data trought eth0, working independently from
cpu1 wich is communicating alone trought eth1).

Is such a configuration possible ? How would one implemente it ?

thanks in advance,

carlos.
