All,

Thanks to all that replied: Ed Murphy, John Speno, Tom Webster, Terry
Horsnell, and anyone else I miss.

The gist of the replies were that Tru64 4.0F does not support load
balancing, in the manner that others do (i.e. a single IP address that
address multiple ports). Netrain is a failover product that I will
definitely be looking into to attempt to make this application as fault
tolerant as possible (I come from a Tandem background, so fault tolerance is
important to any application that I run). Gigabit ethernet is a possiblity,
however at this time the Gigabit router here is full. Another is to be
installed in near future, so that is something I will be looking into
heavily.

Thanks to everyone who responded, and anyone that has not responded yet, but
will.

Cheers,
