Or are you suggesting multiple targets bound to a particular interface? Not a bad idea, but the same applies to slots, and you're also limited to 1Gb unless it happens to spread across devices. The PCIe is also going to be a bottleneck, but I'm ignoring this for now. What I really want is the fastest way to connect to boxes using IP (preferably). A geom class using some other hardware might be the best way, but I don't want to launch in to writing one if there's an easy way. Regards, Frank.
