NIC Trunking in Linux?

Hi All,

I am in a bandwidth crunch and looking to implement something to fill the gap while waiting for a network upgrade.

Many NIC's have add-on or driver support for "teaming" NIC's in Windows and Solaris has the ability as well. I am looking for the spectrum of options available in Linux?

This is mainly for file-serving where I need to have one IP/hostname that hands out data using multiple NIC's, not just an active/passive config for failover.

Any help/suggestions are much appreciated!
