Ryan: We have done this successfully with two ports on the NIC, on another hardware-identical host. That said, it is entirely possible that this is a shortcoming of lagg. Can you think of any sort of workaround? Our desired implementation really requires the inclusion of all 4 ports in the lagg. Failing this we're looking at the likelihood of 10G ethernet, but with that comes significant overhead, both cost and administration (before anybody tries to force the cost debate, remember that there are 10G router modules and 10G-capable distribution switches involved, never mind the cabling and SFPs -- it's not just a $600 10G card for the host). I'd like to defer that requirement as long as possible. 4 aggregated gig ports would serve us perfectly well for the near-term.
