You also have to consider the MAC address, otherwise you need to rely on other boxes updating their arp cache when the ip moves. I have no idea what teaming or multipathing is, but I've played around with a few tools in a user mode linux network. heartbeat ipvsadm keepalived vrrpd (virtual router redundancy protocol) zebra (routing daemon) compiled with multipath I used vrrpd quite successfully in my network sandbox. The others I just looked at. I haven't tried this in production. You should be able to find this stuff on freshmeat or google. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
