I don't want to bond the nics.  I need to have multiple ip addresses up
on this box, I want to bind one to eth0 and many to eth1.

I don't want too manually bounce the interfaces, in troubleshooting of
another issue I took down eth1 and noticed the behavior.  This might be
normal, but I'm curious if it should do this.
