Nope, but I think I could be falling in love after having read it.

In this example, does the xl0 interface share the same MAC address?
How does this share the bandwidth over the interfaces?  Just guessing,
but, I'd venture to guess that each interface has its own mac and each
interface responds to ARP requests with its own mac...  what I don't
understand is how the ARP requests are handled.  Is it just a 1st
come, 1st serve?  By that I mean that the interface that responds
first wins?  I thought the switch had an ARP table and that you
couldn't have multiple mac's per IP....  I'm confused as to how this'd
work.  :) If there's one MAC address that's shared/spoofed by the
netgraph interface, then how does the switch decide what port to send
the data out of?

    Confused,
	Sean
