Glenn (and everyone):

Since this is iSCSI (not a shared solution in itself), I assume you want to bond two NICs to a server of sort? Whereas said server also having bonded connections to a switch?

Just curious: wouldn't bonding NAS' ports direct to a switch be a simpler solution? (Theoretically, this avoids the additional bottleneck/ overhead of the separate server.)

(Practically NAS probably doesn't have enough CPU power to handle multiple TCP/IP connections as efficiently as a dedicated server - is that the whole reason for iSCSI+server vs. NAS?)

(Bob to Alex: SCREW YOU! You get NOTHING but fries for $499! :))
