I have successfully used the below Nic's on 4.3 and 4.4 -current setups
(especially the 4 port version)
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html
They go well with the HP DL range in my experience.
Example the HP DL385 will give you 4 PCI express lanes i.e 16
+2(onboard) 18 total 1000TX ports per firewall
Enjoy

Hi,
I read the thread that popped up a few months back, and the consensus
was to buy a Dell or buy a switch and make VLANs, but neither of
these options are suitable for my requirements.
I presently have a pair of Intel Servers with 6 pci NICs plus one on
board running as a clustered firewall. These are getting old, and I
want to replace them. Only thing is, I am finding it impossible to
find anyone who makes mobos with enough pci slots.
Can anyone recommend a mobo that does?
Or recommend dual port nics that I can use instead of my current intel nics?
I am happy with getting individual components and putting something
together, just need to know what components.
TIA
