If you have different switches for each line i suggest the use of "bonding" in balance-round-robin mode. +-------+ eth0 +--------+ eth0 +------+ | Host |--------|switch 1|--------| Host | | | +--------+ | | | A | eth1 +--------+ eth1 | B | | |--------|switch 2|--------| | +-------+ +--------+ +------+ See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt regards, Paul _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
