RE: 2 network card and ODBC - is it faster?

Best bet would be to configure the cards redundantly.

You end up with 3 IP address' assigned to the box.  One for each card
and a virtual one.

You use the virtual one in all your DNS records. So that every client,
no matter what application/protocol is being used thinks the IP address
of the box is the virtual one.

If you unplug one of the network cards, nobody notices.  No connections
fail, file transfer in progress, ect continue with no errors.

It's great!

You can do this back even on v5r2.

Subject: 2 network card and ODBC - is it faster?

Hi

I have 520 with two gbit network cards. 
Is it make sense if I use one card for user access (CA, ftp, 
other) and
second card I will use only for access by ODBC? If ODBC will 
work faster?

Regards

Tomasz Skorza
