Can BSD do complex multi-linking? What I'm looking at doing is taking a box, putting 3 lan cards in it, and merging two T3's into one BSD box and have it pump out a single datastream to the internal lan so it acts like we're running a 2x T3 live into the building. I need it to be able to treat the two T3's equally and load balance between them, and even though I'll be mounting each T3 to a nic on the box, I want the people on the inside to see it as though it were one 2xT3 instead of two separate T3's. Ok, that was about as clear as mud, but I hope you got the general idea. I haven't built anything yet, but if someone knows of a good way to make this work, I'm game. Even if it's not with BSD but rather a cisco box or something. But either way I'd like to merge all our T3's and T1's into one huge load balanced connection, rather than each section of the company getting their own T1/T3 respectively. Any ideas? Is this practical and possible? Or am I just dreaming? Thanks all. (sorry, it's that time of year. Bonuses are coming up and I want to look like a million bucks. hehe) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
