	The ABN-102, from portwell seems to be what you want, or something like it.
(Note, this isn't a recomendation, Iv'e never used them). 

	http://www.portwell.com/abn-102.htm

	A pair of intel gige ports on a card, with a power off bypass.  

	There are other vendors with similar products: 

	http://www.etinc.com/index.php?page=etfailover.htm	
	http://www.interfacemasters.com/products/
	http://www.adlinktech.com/PD/web/PD_detail.php?cKind=FF&pid=500&seq=6&id=20&sid=181
 
	Find one with (insert your os here) support, and you should be good, after a little
scripting and testing to make sure that the bypass is enabled whenever snort isn't running.
