Actually it's much more than the fact it is free. Running that connection on your public address OR on the same NIC card will choke your boards. I know of one case where a lot of time was put into figuring out what was wrong with a particular board and as soon as they switched to a second NIC for the private traffic all their load problems dissapeared.
