I have yet to hear a good reason to do it. I can think of a good reason to do it. Attach each NIC to a switch and supply each NIC with its own IP address. It's not exactly "trunking" as you would normally think of it, but each IP address would have full use of the bandwidth available at the NIC. It would be downright silly to do it with them both attached to the same collision domain (non-switched segment), obviously. The better way to accomplish this is of course with port trunking or Cisco EtherChannel or something like that, but we don't have support for that AFAIK. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
