I do this to get more bandwidth from NFS sometimes. It's cheesy, but I'll plug two nics into the same VLAN give each nic different IP addresses, then I'll setup DNS round robbin for the A records and *poof* instant clustering. This works better with UDP than it does TCP, but still... I've gotten 150Mbps off of my NFS server by doing that. Can't say as its graceful, but it's certainly a poor-man's way of getting more than 100Mbps of capacity. Julien, know of a better way? I get the feeling that you've got an idea... :) -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
