Hello,

We have a Dell 2800 with 4 Intel 10/100/1000 quad cards installed. 
That means we have 16 gigabit interfaces from the Intel cards, and 2
onboard gigabit interfaces.

This is done mostly for segration of traffic and convenience purposes.
 No single interface is really pushing that much traffic.  Maybe 10mb
at most.

However, is there any logic I should use to layout my interfaces?  For
example, should I put my most heavily used interfaces on the onboard
NICs?  Any other suggestions?

(This is a CheckPoint NGX firewall running SecurePlatform)

Thanks
Shane
