NetRAIN? (Parallel NICs)

» close window

The Question is:

 
Are there redundant NICs available for the Alpha platform (ES40) which allow
 for two NICs to share the same IP and MAC address at the same time?  On the
 Windows NT/2K platform, it is possible to have two seperate Intel Pro 100 NICs
 acting in a redundant f
ashion where if one fails, the other takes over for IP traffic (when they are
 both operational, they work in a load sharing capacity).  I believe this is a
 function of the NIC drivers and Operating System.   Your earliest response
 would be appreciated.

The Answer is :

 
  Please see existing discussions of NetRAIN.
