But if you went out and bought 10gbe you wouldnt have to, problem solved!
I'm currently in a similar boat.. need more than 129mb/s on a single path to a host! multipathing is great if you are threading the data in multiple streams but thats not how a single host works.. and thats what I need.. around 300mb/s to each host. the cost seems to be about 200$ per port on the server and about 500$ more per port on a switch, which theoretically is the evolution in high speed infrastructure, thats not a bad price to pay for something thats still going to be considered smokin' fast 5 years from now. What do you think Todd? have you guys played at all with a pure 10gbe san?
