Also, Peter, you should put a page up on the FreeBSD wiki with some of those multi-catalyst LACP IOS config examples. =20 Maybe write an article for BSDMag. I always just counted that idea out (LACP against two switches) since LACP doesn't have any inter-component transport protocol a la pfsync(4). But if the backplanes of Cat 37xx`s can be merged at a lower level, then then yea, fuck. Lets have it. ~BAS=20 P.S., in my experience, system level redundancy/HA with a load balancer is almost always less expensive then excessive component-level redundancy/ha (RAID Disk, RAID RAM, Dual Power Supplies, Dual Backplanes...) > It shouldn't be too difficult to create something that behaves > functionally similarly to Slowaris ipmpd (and with marginally more > effort, you could create something that could be configured to behave > sensibly). --=20 Brian A.
