network raid possible?

Hi,
If your wanting to do this to implement distribution across file
servers, you'd be better off using something like virtual servers.
That is, many servers appear as one on the network. Load balancing is
seamless because one server accepts all requests, then either handles
them itself or passes them to one of the other servers based on any
one of several scheduling algorithms.
