I am pretty sure this is not something you can address on the settings.js This has nothing to do with node-red.

You can easily get what you need by bonding NICs (i.e., when you merge two or more physical NICs, into a single virtual one).

Set the bond mode to type 5 or 6 (depending on which kind of load balancing use case you want to address) and you're good to go.

Google is your friend, but you can start here:

I would like to thank everyone for their prompt responses on this matter.  
I have managed to achieve what i wanted with the concept of network bonding.

I finally got some time to review all the links which was shared here on this post (especially by @craigcurtin & @lu4t )

I had no idea something like this existed. I have managed to resolve this and now i can have a smooth transitions between my 2 ethernet connections (eth0 and eth1) using this technique.

I went on poking around with our friend "Google" and found this [very easy process](https://www.thegeekdiary.com/configure-network-bonding-in-ubuntu-server/) on how to set this up.

Hope that link is useful to others as it was to me.  
Here's @lu4t 's [link](https://linuxtechlab.com/networking-bonding-combining-multiple-nics-one/) & @craigcurtin 's [link](https://linuxhint.com/setup-network-bonding-ubuntu/)
