I am new to the Debian world and am working on a new in house system that
has 2 3com 10/100 PCI NIC's in it. I got the system to find the NIC's okay
now I am wondering how I configure /etc/init.d/network file to load balance
between the NIC's. I added a seperate script in /etc/init.d/network for eth1
but it overwrites eth0 default route which is destination - default
gateway - 131.107.2.15 genmask - 0.0.0.0 flags - UG metric - 1 ref - 0 use -
0 iface - eth1. I would think that I need a default route for both NIC's?
TIA..
below is the output of ifconfig -a
