Hi all,
Below you find a simple patch for the bonding module that allows multiple arp_ip_targets .
Having just one arp_ip_target would leave room for confusion when the reference
node goes down leaving other nodes to think their interface is malfunctioning.
This patch is based on 2.4.20-pre11. This and the same patch for 2.4.18 and 2.4.19
can be found on http://www.enterprise.be/
Regards,
Bert
