Hey John, I've personally set up network bonding on 7 LTSP servers (2x 1Gbit/sec each) running Ubuntu 8.04. If you choose the right bonding "mode" you don't need a special switch at all (I used mode=0 myself, which is not only pretty easy to set up, but it provides fault tolerance *and* load balancing).
This is the HOWTO I used - very well made and easy to follow. Though it says it's for Ubuntu 6.10 it should work fine for others (and probably other distros too). http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10 Cheers, Jordan/Lns john wrote: > Hi all, > > I am running up against bandwidth constraints with my single gigabit > nic.
