Hi Frank,

I used the explanations found at
http://bsdvault.net/sections.php?op=3Dviewarticle&artid=3D98
for trunking (called bundling in the article) 4 NIC's of
a COMPAQ Proliant ML370 based on the netgraph module.

It works in that way that the NIC's get utilized in sequence.
I was just disappointed that the construction is not fault
tolerant: If one cable gets unplugged the whole connection
breaks down.

Stephan.
