Does 6.x have a nic bonding/teaming/failover feature like the linux
bond (rnd robin, failover, ld bal, trunking)? I'm thinking
multiple nics, one server, same lan/vlan. I've read up on CARP and
one2many, but they don't seem to do what bond does.
I think you want ng_one2many(4).

Hi,
I did a lot of tests with carp (was not appropriate at all), and ng_one2many
I was able to make two nics appears at one with ng_one2many, but
after severals days of tests and research, dropped it because it
caused bad side effects and when I was pulling one nic out, it was
stopping to transmit/receive for some moment. Also on the switch,
both nics were registering the same mac address so my cisco was
sending me warning about it every minute.
If you find a way to make it work that works perfectly, let me know,
I think a lot of people will benefit from it cause there is a bunch
of people asking for nic teaming and no real solution...
personnally, I ended up doing the redundancy at layer 3 instead of layer 2.
I used quagga (or zebra) and put one nic in a separate subnet. I then
used ospf to share routes. basically, my website is on an ip I binded
to my loopback adapter and there is two gateways (both nics) to the
rest of the network. It's not a solution I'm proud of because I wish
I would have succeed to team the nic like I could have done on
windows or linux, but I didn't find a working solution...
Good luck
