(Please note, very elementary user)
I have a fresh installation of Red Hat Linux 5 Enterprise out of the box.
The (single) server hardware has two gigabit ethernet ports each with its own IP number.
Have I understood correctly, that it is possible to create a virtual IP address that incorporates the two static IP addresses of the ports and will load balance the traffic accordingly?
1) Is this a very complex task?
2) Is additional software necessary?
Best regards
