Does that mean you should use multiple NICs on the servers and spread
the clients over different networks?
Afaik about most operating system and managed switches nowadays support
port-trunking to make a bigger pipe of several network-interfaces. We
use it on our fileserver for instance which came shipped with four 1
Gbit-ports and we configured it to be a trunk of three on our main
network and a single failover-port on our backup network.
Long story short, you don't need to spread the clients across networks
to be able to use multiple nics/ports on your server as long as the
switches and OS (and maybe the nics too) support port-trunking
(server-grade versions of all those probably do that).
