The linux bonding driver should allow for it - the active-backup mode should work as you describe (with the exception that the two links appear to be active at the same time, if it makes any difference). It is also more versatile than that, allowing for more sophisticated redundancy modes.
Take a look at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Document ation/networking/bonding.txt and see if it matches your needs.

Each one backups another. When eth0 is down, eth1 have to work. When eth1 is down, eth0 have to work. The most sutable solution I've found is to monitor RUNNING status of interfaces and change the routing table from my program.
