Is there a solution to this problem?
Could it be using parallell switches, or actually separating the servers into smaller networks and link them through another nic for the smaller services like file and printer sharing? Is it possible for Linux to have more NICs installed to have more cables linked directly to the switch? Just last week a friend showed me an old compaq NIC with 2 jacks, but he told me that it needed a special switch, are we past that? may Linux use regular hardware for this purpose? I think it should 8/

If you have a alot of heavy traffic going to the server( switch or no switch the Server only has one nic) you can get collision problems cuasing a slow boot. I have had this paticular problem in the past.
