Folks - Whoa!! I had two replies before I even saw my original post!! :-) Anyway, I haven't read it yet but it seems the Sun BluePrint at http://wwwwswest.sun.com/blueprints/0201/Multipathing.pdf discusses IPMP (IP MultiPathing) which is "available on Solaris 8 in release 10/00 or newer". Thanks to all who replied, Debbie My original request: > The netra boxes have 2 10/100 ethernet interfaces.

Would that alone (without > additional hardware) provide failover capability? -- +== Debbie Tropiano == Mommy to Nathan 8/17/95 & ^Sara^ 10/25/00-11/7/00 ==+ | God shows His opposition to cancer and birth defects, not by | | eliminating them or making them happen only to bad people (He | | can't do that), but by summoning forth friends and neighbors to | | ease the burden and to fill the emptiness. -- Harold S.
