     Hello,
     
     I have heard that putting multiple NIC's in a server and using 
     internal bridging gives you better throughput than having only 1 NIC.  
     I heard also that you should have only 30 connections per NIC.  
     Someone from our LAN ops group said that internal bridging is slow and 
     since you have to put each NIC on a different segment you have 2 hops 
     from the root.
     
     Having multiple NIC's makes sense to me but I need more information 
     can someone out there tell me where to look.  I need some hardcore 
     data and/or formulas.
     
     Thanks,
     
     Mike
