Sure, send it over. Is it possible to have some type of failover using the priority settings with the STP protocol?

Yes, as long as you are aware that connection states will not traverse over the heartbeat system, and that you will find yourself in a deep pit of trouble with the IPaddr script (at least the version I saw) that comes with heartbeat, and iptables =). IPaddr.sh runs with the help of interface aliases, which iptables can't handle.
I rewrote the IPaddr script for work a couple of months ago to get rid of the interface aliases, but when I was about finished we started to rethink the whole idea, and noticed that the whole script was flawed for our uses;).
In other words, if you want it, I could try and send it over, as long as you know that it is almost totally untested.
