I tend to agree.
bonding in Linux is capable of doing this and solaris too.
Well ... name a price for the development; HA L1/L2 is a feature the community would gladly sponsor the development of.
Also, Peter, you should put a page up on the FreeBSD wiki with some of those multi-catalyst LACP IOS config examples.
Maybe write an article for BSDMag.
I always just counted that idea out (LACP against two switches) since LACP doesn't have any inter-component transport protocol a la pfsync(4).
But if the backplanes of Cat 37xx`s can be merged at a lower level, then then yea, fuck. Lets have it.
~BAS
P.S., in my experience, system level redundancy/HA with a load balancer is almost always less expensive then excessive component-level redundancy/ha (RAID Disk, RAID RAM, Dual Power Supplies, Dual Backplanes...)
It shouldn't be too difficult to create something that behaves functionally similarly to Slowaris ipmpd (and with marginally more effort, you could create something that could be configured to behave sensibly).
