As long as it's not a single connection that you're looking to get over 1Gb, etherchannel should actually work. It uses a hash based on (I believe) source and destination IP and port, so it should roughly balance connections between the servers.
That depends on the devices on each end. For example, some switches can only hash on MAC addresses, some can look at IPs, and some can look at ports. -- Chris Adams <cmadams () hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
