To add to all the others if the server is a high profile, high usage machine then don't piggy back the NIC's. On the other hand low profile, low usage servers work well with piggy backed NIC's. You can try one high usage and one low usage servers sharing a NIC. I have tried a number of differnet things and depending on how much usage each gets really will decide if you can do piggy backing of servers. I can tell you that without a doubt don't try putting 5 servers on 2 NIC's. BTDTGTS and really regetted it.
