That is a good solution
Another one is buy those PCI that has 4 ethernet plugs (aka 4 ethernets integrated into one PCI), then you can get up to 20 ethernets in a MoBo that has 5 free PCIs.
Is not an elegant solution, but is a fast one.

Hi,

Then, will I be able to do load balancing like this?

ip route add default table 221 proto static \
            nexthop via ${EXTGW1} dev eth0:0 weight 2\
            nexthop via ${EXTGW2} dev eth0:1 weight 2\
            nexthop via ${EXTGW3} dev eth0:2 weight 2\
            nexthop via ${EXTGW4} dev eth0:3 weight 2

Yes.

Also, iptraf will only show traffic for eth0, not the virtual
interfaces, any workarounds?

 

Thanks!

Edu
