It will just be two connections.  Tough to answer the "hoping for" question as 
it depends
on the performance of all the links in the chain.  I'd like to be able to push 
more than
120mb/sec as there are 4 LTOgen2 drives in use at the very least.  The 
bonding/etherchannel
is in preparation for what is not in place as far as clients currently.  I 
don't know
if the system will be the bottleneck. network, or clients.

Thanks
Peter
