Does anyone know of a project or other plans to implement teaming of network
interfaces in FreeBSD? Something that will allow two or more NICs share the
"same" IP Address, MAC address, etc. for network fault tolerance purposes? I
found nothing in the archives and it's pretty disconcerting that no one is
spending any time on fault tolerance for a network operating system.

thx
nick
