The box has four NICs in it. Although we currently only have two connected, one is the "Host NIC" and the other is used for the different virtual machines. We have two others we can grow into as need arises. Our Network department charges us per network connection, so we are trying to limit our connections until need arises. The free alternative would be to request multiple IP Addresses in the same range and grow into them as needed.
