thank you! i think i can do it now well enough not to blow the entire mess
up :) it's a shame they don't put more devices directly onto the mobo (like
4 or 8 ethernet ports).. we are getting some new 2 and 4 way opteron dual

ethernet ports which only leaves one for public ip space so we will be forced
to totally re-engineer this entire network still keeping things in
production. no fun. its not small.
