Howdy,

My company is looking at buying a 2u server and it comes with 2 Intel NICs (eepro, 
IIRC). I've never dealt with multiple NICs in one box before. Since the server will be 
co-located and on the Internet, so there's not a local net for it to masquerade for or 
anything else that you'd normally use two NICs for. I can think of one thing that 
would be useful, however: redundancy. Is it possible to set up the NICs in such a 
manner that it's treated as a single "double-bandwidth" card?

If not, is there some way we can set it up as a failover (though I imagine that if one 
fails the other would too, since they're both on-board)?

Any advise would be appreciated,

        JW
