What's the status of this now? Someone (luigi?) had asked about methodology for choosing output interface, how to load balance, etc. How would we go about actually 'bonding' multiple interfaces into one logical trunk (single MAC, downed NIC detection, etc.)? Adaptec does this with their Dura* product line, but I think the software is NT only. http://www.adaptec.com/technology/whitepapers/portaggregationio1.html Later, -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
