You didn't say why you want to do this, but for starters have a look at: http://aggregate.org/FNN/ This site has discussion of why you might want to do this and what some of the challenges are associated with this sort of network architecture. There is a grad student there doing a PhD thesis on solving your question in the Linux domain. I dunno if anyone is working on it for FreeBSD yet. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
