I will soon have 2 boxes each with 2 Gbit NIC's. On the first box I bonded both NIC's together. The new box could be set up almost the same. I was thinking of connecting the DB server directly to the Webserver accross one of these NIC's and not do the bonding - but then I'd have to maintain the DB server thru the Webserver.
Thoughts?
Surely 2 bonded Gbit NIC's will have no problem talking to each other thru a Switch. The Firewall would block all traffic directly to the DB box and I would VPN in to maintain it.
