One comment which failed to appear in all the responses thus far, is that of 'redundancy'. If you plan to setup a pair of servers in an H/A environment, you should seriously consider two network interfaces.
Not only that, but you should consider at least two data paths to your systems. That means duplicating the hubs, switches, and routers or at least ensuring that they have redundant power and that failure of one card/port on these does not affect another card/port. The same goes for backplanes of this net hardware; they should have multiple independent data paths. This is the second part (meaning) of trunking.
