Hello,

I have a server with 4 NICS running CentOS 5.2. I have bonded the interfaces together such that 'bond0' consists of eth0-3. This is not a problem, and works fine.

That is fine, just be sure not to have the bonding specific things in the sub interface, just have the IP/subnet/device name (bond0:1 etc).

Yup. Thanks.

For info, 'ifconfig' output shows:

============================================================= bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

Somehow I doubt ifconfig reports your MAC address as xx:xx:xx..

You do realize that your MAC address is useless outside of your local layer 2 subnet right.

Yeah, old habit I guess :-)

John.
