I was currious about setting up load balancing for my company fileserver. This machine get's heavy usage and we would like to load balance the traffic over two 1 Gigabit NICS. How would this be best accomplished? Should we set up a firewall rules that will NAT for that machine or does samba have a built in mechinism?

This is typically done lower level than the applications running on your file server. You probably want cards that support teaming, going to a switch that supports it. There may be a cheaper way, hardware wise, but it's the most logical.
