I am currently working on hooking up multiple workstations which will need
to be sharing drives via NFS.  There is a lot ethernet activity involved in
this process as well as lots of disk access.  What is the best way to do
something like this without taking the most performance hit?  If i'm using
multiple controllers (PCI/ISA), will they work on their own independently or
will they cause bottleneck for each other.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

-Pete
