using multiple network cards

[Lambeth, Darwin]

You may want to consider adapter teaming. You may have to buy two new NIC's,
but it will give you twice the bandwidth.
 
See Here:
 
Intel(R) PRO/100S Server Adapter is supported with the 2.2.x and
2.4.x kernels for i386 and IA64 architectures with the e100-1.5.5a driver.
FEC* support is included in ANS-1.2.29 teaming software. ANS-1.2.29 is
supported for both the 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels on i386 only. One note is
that there is both a client and a server version of the Intel PRO/100S
Adapter. Only the server version supports the ANS teaming software.

That would be nice... I'd be happy to put a second nic in my nagios box if
this would work.  Right now, when I start nagios it will schedule checks six
seconds apart and take about 11 minutes to get through them all.
 
However, once they go they reschedule themselves when the next one would be.
I don't think a second nic would make it go any faster.

Is it possible to get nagios to use multiple network interfaces for it's
checks. The goal would be to reduce the time taken to execute checks. I'd
like it to complete all checks w/in 5 minutes.
