After reading up on the Cisco stuff that ng_fec is meant for, I'm curious 
as to whether there is a way of determining if its needed ... in my case, 
I have one server, two ethernets but all attaching to the same switch ... 
is there some way of determining if the interface(s) (on either hte 
FreeBSD box, or the Cisco switch) is "overly busy", that load balancing 
would be beneficial?
