Hi,

I wish to run freebsd on some servers (hp blade servers).
Each server will be supplied with two nic's, both will have the same ip
and network mask.
like this:

		switch
		  |
		  |
		  |
		freebsd
		  |
		  |
		  |
		switch

Suppose one switch will fail, then the link on one nic will be inactive.
Meaning is that than the second nic will become active traffic will go out
over the second nic.
Is this possible with freebsd, anybody got any experience with it?
Btw, could you also cc to my own adress mipam at ibb.net
Bye,

Mipam.
