I've been banging my head against the wall about this for a while,
time to see if anyone on the list can jar my brain loose... =)
An NFS server has a dual-port ethernet adapter. Etherchannel
(combining two ethernet links into one) is not supported on the
server end, so it isn't a viable solution. Each port now requires
its own IP address. There are N clients trying to use the server.
Excluding manually setting N/2 clients to point to each IP, and
excluding spending big $$$ on a load balancer, is there any good
solution for spreading the load to take advantage of the second
ethernet port on the server?
*sigh* The stress of having cool hardware to work with... ;)
