Ethernet bondig

[Holder, Bill]

The bonding and load balancing I know about, but I've never had much
success with redundant paths via bonding. It always seems to kill the
route if one component of the bond dies.
 
Saying that, I only spent a few days with it and it was a while ago.

You haven't specified which RHEL you are using, but nic bonding has been
available/supported since RHEL 3.  Install the kernel-doc rpm and look
for the bonding.txt file in the networking directory.  It will explain
everything.
