RE: [cobalt-users] Function of second ethernet port on Raq3i - can it distribute load?

["Jimmy Gross" <jimmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Raq3i has a 10/100 NIC which would be 10MBps or 100MBps depending on how
you have your network set up. You are trying to balance load which just
activating the second ethernet port on your Raq isn't going to work.

Well one ethernet port would max out at 1 meg per sec, correct?

So if I was using both, theoretically it could move up to 2 megs a sec,
correct?

I thought that this might be good for when it does get hit hard.  i also
thought that this was semi-common on other servers but I guess not,

thanks for your help
