Hi Jason,

Nopes, I checked mulitple times and all I can say is that as soon as I
connect the pfSense machine's NIC with my public-cum-mgmt port group on the
dvSwitch, CPU of any of the host(s) in the cluster shoots to 60-70% from
the normal 4-5%. I have very consolidation ratio as of now, only 2-6 VMs
per host. As soon the NIC is disconnected, the CPU consumption drops
vertically and it is fairly visible and noticable.



Thanks and Regards,

*Rizul Khanna*
