We loaded them with Arkeia to use as backup servers. At one point we split the two NIC cards up (seperate IP's) thinking that we could run faster if we managed which system backud up to which card. We found that we were better off to re-instate the bonding and run multiple backups at once. Bonding was better able to balance the load than we were.
Of course for a web server there is always network redundancy to consider. Which is much less an issue for backup servers.
