I can :) I would have thought this would be called channel bonding, not multihoming (which is where the same machine has multiple IP's) > If the answer is 'YES' then how can you "enforce" the kernel to use a > specific netcard for when 'taking' to certain addresses (i.e. how can you ro > some addresses via a specific netcard)? Well, I don't know if you can channel bond, but you can route by interface instead of IP.
