In more than a few places on the cisco web site they have
diagrams like this:
{Internet}

[routerA] [routerB]

------------- ---------------
| | | |
| switch |----| switch |

designed so that either router can fail and things still work
for the servers connected to the switches.
What I don't get about this is the two connections
from each router into the same switch fabric.
In a simple world where you have a /24 with a bunch of servers
plugged into the switches, how do you have two ports on one
router in the same broadcast domain?
Thanks,
