I have a machine running netatalk with 2 ethernet cards. Each of them is connected to a different subnet on our system, but both of them are really the same number of hops away from most of the computers that use the server. I've noticed that connections over TCP/IP seem to go to either NIC. This IS what I want, but I was wondering how netatalk decides which NIC to use. Only one of them has Appletalk enabled on it, and it seems that half the time I'm connecting to that one and half the time I'm connecting to the other one. Is there some sort of load balancing going on?
