1 server, 1 net, 2 cards

Hi Mikhail,

Zitat von "Mikhail E. Zakharov" <zakharov at ipb.redline.ru>:

I don´t know why you would want to do that (maybe bandwidth issues?) but
it *might* work like this:

ifconfig xl0 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig xl1 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255

I did not try this though ...

Note that this should not do any loadbalancing (I think). If you need
the additional bandwidth you might want to buy a dual ethernet
card and use it´s channel bundling feature. Some dual-nics offer this.
