Multi homing

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there anyway to get more than
1 network interface active at the same time ???. (Multi-homing I think the
term is ???)

As I have both Ethernet and Airport connections, but when I try to ping
anything, the traffic always goes out the what ever is the top checked port
within the network system preference (This is within MacOS-X normal, i.e.
Not Server ).

They are both checked, and in the order Ethernet, Airport. I did think at
one time if that the system worked if one wasn't available that the next
port would become active, but that doesn't happen.

I have looked for a TechNote on this, but doesn't seem to be, I know that
I should be able to do this some how ??, as we do it on Solaris boxes. I
guess some better documentation would help here, explaining exactly what is
suppose to be going on.

Any Ideas

Thanks
Mark.
