GoodMornings Thanks for your input Im looking for redundancy but a little extra: I have already bonding bond0 :- eth0 + eth1 bond1 :- eth2 + eth3 And I have a IP witch I can reach from the 2Lans Its a ILOM IP that I use for PowerFencing on a cluster setup Since I have the paths I thought I could use them to get extra reliability Thats why I went into this iproute thing...
