      Hello, quick question - is it possible to make pfsense truncate ports?  In other words, say my firewall(s) have 3 network cards, is it possible to combine two of those cards to act as one in FreeBSD/pfsense?  I know it would need to be supported at the switch level, which it is.  I'm wondering if we can do this with pfsense as well.

      This is also known as 'teaming', for combining throughput.

        I did some quick tests with the netgraph one2many functionality (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ng_one2many&sektion=4&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE)
        I have not tested any further and have not heard if anyone else has determined this to be useful or not.
        Here is that post: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,6525.0.html

          http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=lagg&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.3-stable&format=html

          But as i know PFsense 1.2-RC4 and below are 6.2-RELEASE-P? based so i guess we have to wait a little..
