How to take advantage of 2 ethernet interfaces

Tru64 Managers:

Our two new ES40 systems arrived and each system includes a dual-port
ethernet interface.

How can I take advantage of these two ports (to increase performance)?

Do I assign each port a separate IP address, and put DNS round-robin entries
in so that traffic alternates between the interface?

Or are there some other hooks in Tru64 that I should read about, to make use
of the dual ports.

These new ES40s will run either 5.1 patch 2, or 4.0G if that doesn't work
out...

Also: I've considered using the 2nd ethernet port to connect the two ES40s
together in a private network -- except each machine already has the CCMAB
memory channel interconnect so that seems overly redundant!
