[Xen-users] XCP, NFS for storage and bonded NICs

Hash: SHA1

Hi,
        Is it possible to gain any speed advantage out of bonded NICs at the 
XCP host
end, when accessing a single NFS Storage Repository?

As I understand most bonding mechanisms, they use MAC addresses, or at best IP
addresses and port numbers, as input to the hash to decide which link to use for
a given packet.  Which means that all traffic between a given host and the NFS
server will hash to the same value every time, and go over just one link.

Have I some obvious (or not so obvious) trickery or options?

Thanks,

Because they're the ones holding the check-signing pen.
