I had no idea quad port NICs were so cheap. How does one configure these things? Do you just set all the ports to the same IP address, or is it more complicated than that? I read an article a while back about tuning Samba. In this article they made a reference to "binding" one of the CPUs in an SMP machine to the NIC. Is this possible under FreeBSD (4.1)? Can someone point me at a URL which tells how to do it? So far my searches haven't turned up anything useful.
