The answer is: None of your business. It was a simple technical question, to which I was given a simple technical answer, which made me warm and fuzzy and happy all over. There's no need to answer your irrelevant questions. If you don't think my response is polite and friendly - well, you're the one who challenged the design without knowing the requirements, which is fairly rude to begin with. >>> Is this your attempt to get more throughput using 2 logical nets >>> through >>> the same switch? >> >> No. > ok, then.....

I can think of a lot of reasons to have multiple physical interfaces on the same network. I didn't ask for a critique of the solution design, I asked how to stop the kernel messages. If you knew the answer, why didn't you give it? Since you apparently didn't know the answer, why didn't you simply hold your peace? >> Fortunately Mr. Bowman promptly gave me the answer below, which is >> exactly what was needed. > > which is fine but I'm stilll puzzled as to why someone would want to do > that if it's not to get extra bandwidth. While you're cogitating, you might ask yourself why there actually exists a sysctl switch for that setting. Apparently other people have the need to use it as well. <end thread> KeS To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
