    > Greetings,

    > We have a e4500 Server running Solaris 8 that has dual nics...

    > NIC1: GE0
    > NIC2: HME0

    > I had setup multipathing to fail from the GE0 -> HME0. This worked
    perfectly, until we had a router failure the other day.
    >
    > The machine dropped off the network because both interfaces could not reach
    the router. To prevent this from happening again, I want to configure GE0 to
    probe the switch it is plugged into and HME0 the other switch. Ge0 is on
    switch 172.24.24.10 and hme0 is on 172.24.24.12
