Separate network connections to each AFR subvoume. VLAN your switches and implement separate logical networks for each connection to the AFR subvolumes using secondary (or even tertiary) nics in each client.

Jumbo frames are also good for speed and lowering the server and switch load.
I would imagine equal for pure bandwidth capability, but if you use separate networks you have the added benefit of being able to use separate switches to increase redundancy, as well as being able to buy cheaper switches that don't need a high end backplane (or to support features such as bonding). you can also just put more nics in if you have more servers.
But hey, if you've got the money to sare, you can always do both. ;) -- -Kevan Benson -A-1 Networks
