I tried before with 2 quad cards to no avail. That was under 3.6 though IIRC. 1 or 2 if's would fail over within a couple of hours, but if left to it's own devices, eventually they all would. If you do figure something out lemme know, I'd love to go back to the quad cards. ifstated didn't work for me but give it a go. I also had a script on each machine that would ping the other every 5 seconds for ever.... The interfaces seemed to last longer but eventually failed that way too. --Bryan
