I would like to enable the 2nd NIC in each server and connect them with a cross-over cable. I'm hoping this will improve the performance of the data transfers between the 2 servers and ease congestion on the LAN. How I would I configure the 2 servers so that they use their 2nd NIC to communicate with each other and use their 1st NIC to communicate with the rest of the network?
