I hope the FreeBSD can add the function to do traffic load-balance and automatic backup among multiple NICs(when a NIC failed, the traffic is routed to other good NICs automatically). This area is a very week in almost every brand UNIX. This doesn't match the role that UNIX(include FreeBSD) is playing, which is they are used as Servers. This weakness will lower its reliability as a System, so I hope it can be addressed as soon as possible. However, if it is already solved, I will drop my suggestion and hope you can point me the URL where I can download the feature and the document which can tell me how to do the configuration to realize this function.
