This will not work as you cannot have traffic to a single MAC address
exiting through multiple active paths.  I'm suprised you don't have
messages complaining of MAC flapping on the 6509..


You either need to do fail-on-fault NIC teaming or plug them into the same
6000.

The server admin is seeing dropped packets on the active NIC and I was wondering if there are any known issues with this kind of setup. The NICs on the server are in a active/standby setup.
