[demime could not interpret encoding binary - treating as plain text]
Intel (PRO-100, 1000, et. al.) calls it Adapter Teaming and you'd be interested
in the "fault-tolerant" mode. It works very similarly to the way PIX failover
works except there is only one IP address per team. The last time I checked, th
ey only "support" co-terminating the NICs on the same hub or switch. But, depen
ding on your particular topology and traffic patterns, there may a workaround.
Email me if you're interested in the details.
They also told me they were looking into implementing STP into the NIC driver i
n a future release to overcome the co-termination requirement (for support).
