Hi

in this case merging of all links to one big pipe
what if the one of the link fails.. its automatically detect
 and combine rest of the links or it keep tries to send the packets  dead 
gateway


for  example

if i have 3 links.. one fails.. rest 2 become one (big pipe) link right ?

or any other configuration required ?? or you given script works ??
