AW: Connecting snort bidirectionnal.

["Poppi, Sandro" <Sandro.Poppi () wacker com>]

If you're using linux (I think *bsd should have that feature too but I don't
know) you could try to recompile your kernel with channel bonding activated
which gives you one logical interface with 2+ physical interfaces. I use
that configuration when tapping to recombine streams and snort runs well.

Take a look on http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonding
