[TriLUG] RAID notion applied to networking

[Pete Soper via TriLUG]

I can do failover manually and that's what we're doing now when the 
construction around us keeps digging up the DSL cable.

The harder question was really if it's possible to combine the paths 
(striped RAID) to get higher performance than that of the fastest single 
path?
