No, I probably don't need a *lot* of connections now, although when I bring email in-house I probably will. I plan on sharing the drive space out through the servers, although it's likely they'll be on the same physical switch as the users.

My environment has three physical servers, which are comprised of 2 hosts running 10 virtual servers and 1 server running disk based backup and is a secondary AD controller. All connections to the SAN are through a separate network/switch. I don't want the san exposed except through the servers.

Was he just blowing smoke up my rear or is that stuff true? Thanks!
