Depending on your switch, e.g. will it spaz out or not, you can try to
set the MAC address to be the same on both NICs using your OS. Some
switches, as I hinted on, will not like this at all... others understand
it if they really support trunking. Short of that it is just an
annoyance in the logs for devices that keep ARP tables. I guess you
could always put a small router in place between the server with the
trunked interfaces and m0n0 thus illiminating the SAP/ARP. (If your
switch has the ability you can do that on the switch too.)
