they should both have (almost) 100MBit as they're connected with switches.. so the collision domains are broken up for each NIC.. right down to the VLAN'ed base-switch... > You can have two IP addresses on the same NIC anyway... yeah.. but it's only one 100MBit that the services have to share on that NIC.. :) it doesn't matter, though.. we don't have that much load anyway (and if we have a peak, it's not critical) - it was just an example why I don't see a problem.. :) - Thomas _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
