Hi, I'm looking for a way to configure failover redundancy for one of my servers. To be specific: The server in question has one IP-address but two LAN interfaces each of them connecting to a different switch. Traffic normally runs only through one of the two interfaces; the other is for redundandy only. In case the active LAN-interface goes down (e.g. because of a link and/or switch failure) the second LAN-interface should take over in the sense that traffic should run through the second interface (again the server has only one IP-address, so binding a different IP-address to the interface is not an option here) Is there any way how this can be configured under FreeBSD 6.2? Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald
