Teaming in Linux isn't too hard but as most people dont deploy 50+ hosts at the same time i may not put that high on the request list Smiley Happy

In case of the EDA though, you could try to add an extra NIC, then 'apt-get install ifenslave' and then change the /etc/network/interfaces to:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

auto bond0

iface bond0 inet static

  bond-slaves none

  bond-mode balance-rr

  address 172.16.1.99

  netmask 255.255.0.0

  gateway 172.16.1.254

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet manual

  bond-master bond0

  bond-primary eth0 eth1

auto eth1

iface eth1 inet manual

  bond-master bond0

  bond-primary eth0 eth1

and with '/etc/init.d/networking restart' you should have a loadbalancing bond0 adapter. this should work pretty well but you may want to add more memory to the eda first. could well be that memory runs out way before network bandwidth does Smiley Wink.

also, i tweaked the /etc/apache2/apache.conf to not start too many servers at once. although maxclients is 150, you may want to change 'StartServers', 'MinSpaceServers' and 'MaxSpareServers' to values in the 5 to 10 range.
