Thanks for all the replies, I was pointed in the direction of the bonding how-to and this works perfectly on the box, I am now hoping that I can use two switches for resilience and then will be using two firewalls as well, so I am trying to plan for all possible failures... Can the eth ports when using the bonding driver get plugged into different switches ? Thanks in advance. Mal -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
