Re: Load balancing of two or more NIC's

["Andreas Sundstrom" <sunkan_ml@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, thanks.. I have noticed that but unfortunately my switch doesn't support 
 Fast Etherchannel (or what it's called) There are several software's for 
WindowsNT doing what I want.. Compaq has a "Virtual NIC" thing which makes 
it transparent to the switch (as far as I know).. Maybe LVS cannot be used 
to this?
