Ok, that makes sense, so maybe that is only happening since the traffic is only going out of e1000g0. Thanks for that. So now I need to figure out how to make the traffic from each NIC go out of it directly.

If you pull the cable on the first NIC, does it move over gracefully?
I am not physically where the machine is so I simulated this by shutting down the switch port to which e1000g0 is connected and the machine loses connection to the internet. I am unable to then receive any ping response from any of the other interfaces, although doing a packet capture on the other interfaces I can see the "ping request" come in. The same applies to when I try to ping out of any specific interface, it fails as I'm suspecting the pings try to get out of e1000g0 but it's shutdown.

If you provide saturating load, does it ever use the other NICs?
I don't know how to simulate that Smilie

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
