There's a section of the infocenter providing instructions on how to setup "Adapter failover using Virtual IP and Proxy ARP". http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/index.htm?info/rzajw/rzajw lbvip.htm I just have one question. If I've got Ethernet and Token Ring adapters on the same subnet, can they all have the same virtual IP? I've got two 10/100 Ethernet adapters, one Token Ring, and one fiber-optic all on the same IP subnet. I'm looking to add some redundancy; so I'm planning on assigning new IP address to the physical Ethernet adapters and make the current address virtual. Note that most clients are connecting via IP address and not name. I've tested having multiple virtual IP addressing and it seems to work fine. I'm just wondering if it makes sense to handle the fiber and token-ring adapters the same way. Thanks, Charles
