In a switched network you can provide more overall throughput to a server by locking clients
to one interface or another. I've seen this used on NFS servers quite effectively.
Off-topic, but still not a very good idea. You now have two points of failure and clients cannot go to the other interface. Better to do channel bonding on a good switch, so you do get double the bandwidth but the two connections are redundant and the failure of one does not imply a total service outage but only a reduction in throughput.
