And what exactly is more secure about having 4 different physical interfaces connected to the same VLAN? That doesn't make any sense, unless you're talking about trunking the 4 interfaces, then adding a vlan interface on top. All of which has nothing to do with VLAN security. Any VLAN security you can really impact will exist on the switch, not at the host. -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net
