That is my intention, 2 or 3 NICs on the host, to 2 or 3 physical
switches for each dedicated VLAN, then to the iSCSI servers with 2/3
NICs. Would doing so eliminate the impact of using RAID 5 across the
network though? Considering the trade-offs since it is increasingly
expensive to add more storage with RAID 1.
