Hey, this is a very interesting idea. BVI will give you certain
redundancy between the two interface on a router, however I guess it
introduces more problem than the benefit. Besides of the IOS code
support (bugs and IOS feature set), the BVI is a process switching
interface that won't give you good performance and meanwhile, you
may play with spanning tree to get the primary/secondary interface
which means a lot of management overhead is waiting for you. I would
rather to buy another box instead of dealing with the bridged network
and spanning tree.
