Hi, Does VI support of ethernet VLAN (trunking) ? If not, do you plan to support it, and when it'll be available ?

A forgot to ask about bonding (ethernet link aggregation). I use it to provide link failover in case a switch or a cable failure. Do you plan to support it ?

It is possible to have two ethernet NICs on the same subnet, and assign different virtual NICs to those physical NICs to achieve bonding or trunking in Virtual Iron 3.1.

Bonding is maybe possible in domu for one VS. But the aggregation built on the switch side is done one time, not many times. How it can be done for many VS ?
The solution is to manage the aggregation on the physical link, so any VS can benefit of it.

Doing trunking in domu s a very high security hole because all VS sharing the same link can access the trunk.
