The bonding modules lets you combine several
ethernet ports into one logical ethernet port.
This port aggregation is used for load balancing
and redundancy.
Mode 0 of bonding sends packets to the physical
interfaces using a round-robin approach.
Mode 1 is used for strict redundancy
Mode 2 uses the MAC address of the destination
on the LAN as the determining factor to route
the packet to a physical interface.
Does anyone know how to modify Mode 2 to use
the destination IP address instead of the MAC
address?
Thanks,
Bob
