why it was reconfigured with two cards on the same network but when I
realized that it was configured this way I figured there maybe a reason.
Not sure what, but need to ask before I took the interface down.
Thanks
In my experience and has been mentioned before, 2 nics on the same
*subnet* are often a problem. The system has a problem deciding which
is the actual gate to that subnet and usually causes a lot of hangs and
slowdown in network communication (if it works at all).
I do not ever recommend that config.
However, I have not seen multiple NICs on the same physical network
cause a problem as long as the IPs do not cause a subnet conflict.
