But if you did that, and complained about the behavior, wouldn't we tell you that you're doing something wrong and that the N NICs should actually be put into an IPMP group? If the N NICs are in an IPMP group, then we eliminate the duplicates by choosing just one interface as the designated receiver. I think this case is a little different, because we wouldn't suggest putting all the VNICs into an IPMP group (would we?) and we do expect people to create multiple VNICs (don't we?). -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
