[PATCH][RFC] 2.4.20-pre11 bonding patch for multiple arp_ip_targets

[PATCH][RFC] 2.4.20-pre11 bonding patch for multiple arp_ip_targets

[Bert Barbe]

Hi all,

Below you find a simple patch for the bonding module that allows multiple arp_ip_targets .
Having just one arp_ip_target would leave room for confusion when the reference
node goes down leaving other nodes to think their interface is malfunctioning.

This patch is based on 2.4.20-pre11. This and the same patch for 2.4.18 and 2.4.19
can be found on http://www.enterprise.be/

Regards,
Bert
