[NCLUG] Multiple nics same subnet

[Tim Kuhlman]

Check this howto out, it describes everything you need to do what your looking 
for. I linked specifically to the case of just load balancing across the nics 
which seems easiest. If you like I'm sure there is a way to more specifically 
have each nic answer the the requests it receives, dig around in that howto.
