What do you mean by `load balancing'? Use two NICs with the same IP address (on different wires, i suppose)? That's not possible with BSD. Every interface needs a distinct IP address (with the exception that for pointopoint links (SLIP, PPP), this rule applies to the remote end, not the local one). -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
