I can give it a try and see what happens (the linux-image-server that is), worth a try. The big-iron kernel just sounded cool :-) As far as bonding follow this howto (that's what I did) http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10 It says it is for 6.10 but I used it without a hitch in 7.04. I used mode=6 which is what I have used in the past on other servers (adaptive load balancing). It doesn't give you 6GB throughput like on large nic, but does give you failover if a nic dies and if they are all running sort of round robins the requests to the least loaded nic. And they still can team with a single IP. The tutorial has two typos, the references to /etc/modprob.d/aliases are missing an "e", change the lines to /etc/modprobe.d/aliases.
