I hadn't thought about that... it doesn't look like the switch I have at the moment supports bonding. Since throughput isn't an issue, I think I'd rather eliminate the complexity of the second/third/etc. NIC card(s) in the host. In the past I had run into problems where an OS upgrade would cause the interface names to swap on some (but not all) machines. With just a single interface, and udev-name-randomization disabled, that problem goes away. :) -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Hmmm ...
