We rely on the arp load balance feature. We certainly don't find it = useless. Looking at ip load balancing, it would also mean that we would = no longer be able to grow bandwidth with additional systems since all = boxes must receive all traffic. I only humbling ask that some sort of = load balancing feature be included when this goes live. -- DaveD On Aug 10, 2011, at 11:05 AM, Gleb Smirnoff wrote: > Hello networkers, >=20 > I'd like to present for review and early testing (for brave ones) > a new CARP implementation.
