My initial thought was - what is the purpose? From your initial post it seems that this is a desktop application and not a server issue - you are not running different subnets or segments on your network.... so what is the point? You may be causing more random network traffic by having multiple adapters all trying to service the same system and you are going to lose the efficiency of allowing the best card in the system to manage the packets in and out... and why confuse the sh*t out of your switch or router? I see no point in this excercise at all except that maybe you have a bit too much time on your hands... this is one of those times when you have to realize than just because you "can" does not mean that you "should".

Ultimately, I wish to be able to run different applications over different cards. For example, I would like to run IE over one card, and run ping on a different card.
Pointers to documentation containing this kind of information would be particularly helpful.
Thanks!
