Dual NICs in my Dell Server

I have dual NICs in my PowerEdge 2650's and 2850 servers. Is it possible to
use both NICs on my local network and just round robin the IP's in my DNS
server?

Is this a configuration that is ok to do? Are there any complications to
doing this? Is there a better way to utilize the dual NICs?

Thanks!

you should not setup two NICs on the same subnet.

If the point is network productivity, then it won't be better for the reason
of Ethernet nature.

Search Dell site and others about NIC Teaming.
