Depends.
I think I read a best practice that said at least two separate connections.
One for guest access and one for host management.
Possibly a third for backup and fourth for iscsi if needed.

Currently they are on a 22MB/2MB connection from Entouch, they have a BES and
are migrating to Exch 2010 from 2003 - heavy BB and email usage, not as much
remote usage, only
You should consider aggregating 2 or 3 of the NICs and using them for guest
traffic in a way that provides redundancy. Use a separate NIC for
management.

~ Finally,
1. How many NICs you use depends on the load and bandwidth requirements
of your VMs. Use one NIC for managing the host and one or more for the
virtual network connections (aggregated or dedicated to specific VMs).
2. I would enable static addresses for all, or at least DHCP
