Hi Frank,

If you should run into any problems just shout for help.

I would also be interested in your experiences regarding this
issue -- and of course the opinions of all the others:

Who's experimenting with trunking / bundling of multiple NIC's?
Are there other solutions than netgraph?
What about HA vs. HP?


Regards,

Stephan.
