Wouldn't we want to use loadbalance instead of failover? 

failover     Sends and receives traffic only through the master port.  If
                 the master port becomes unavailable, the next active port is
                 used.  The first interface added is the master port; any in-
                 terfaces added after that are used as failover devices.

    loadbalance  Balances outgoing traffic across the active ports based on
                 hashed protocol header information and accepts incoming
                 traffic from any active port.  The hash includes the Ether-
                 net source and destination address, and, if available, the
                 VLAN tag, and the IP source and destination address.
