I still owe the list another email with our setup, but I've been swamped at work (..I have now become the Cisco networking and firewall expert in addition to my other duties :-). I did have time to do some limited testing with this vblade build on a pair of test servers using a file on a tmpfs filesystem as the export, and things seem to work fine. Multiple blades on one interface has less CPU cost, as desired. We'll be upgrading our production server/device/thing sometime in the next month or two when we have some power upgrades coming and have to take it down anyway, and I'll send another update with news at that time.
