Anybody got some experience bonding (or trunking) multiple NIC's
into one fat pipe?  I have a box with an Intel dual port NIC.  I
have never tried to bond the two ports together because I didn't
think my switch supported it.  Turns out it does (HP 4000M), so I
would love to take this rather busy box and double its bandwith
by bonding the two nics together as one.  Anybody done this?  Or
can you point me to a good starting spot?

Thanks,
