I should have made clear that all this is purely descriptive, not
*pre*scriptive.  That is, whatever you do with "interface"
sections, DLEs, etc., will *not* affect which NIC the packets
actually travel through.  That's well beyond Amanda's control;
it's up to the kernel's TCP/IP stack as usual.  The only purpose
here is to tell Amanda what's going on, so that it can budget the
various NICs' bandwidth appropriately.

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
