  Yup. I do that already.  These are smarter as they don't just hand out 
addresse
1 for you 1 for me 1 for the next guy, rather they actually watch traffic and 
may
send the traffic from several clients in a row to the same address because the
other(s) are currently handling lots of traffic.

  TO use this type of balancing needs NO configuration on the AS/400, just
multiple NICS.
