I'm getting ready to upgrade my server and along with this
upgrade I had
planned on implementing sun trunking and just having one big(4Gb) pipe
on the same IP that I use now.  Well, after having a long discussion
with the networking guys here, because our core links are only 1Gb I
would be better of having the separate NICs on separate switches and
separate subnets.

We upgraded those links instead, by using WDM on the dark fibre links
and normal etherchannel on the others. It seems easier and is probably
more effortless than trying to manually load balance and administer
different networks.

But I still haven't had the chance to disable the sun trunking software
in order to see how expensive it is CPU-wise.
