Unfortunately we have some UDP protocols we are load balancing, namely DNS
and radius.  I'm not too worried about TCP traffic, but I am worried about
losing UDP packets.

Maybe I should keep the interconnects between the real servers and the
director   100DB like it is now, but do NFS on a separate network off of
the gigE cards.
