'k, I don't think bandwidth is an issue ... just started to use mrtg on 
the switch, to see what is going on ... I might go with ng_fec anyway, so 
that both ports are used semi-balanced, since I do have them attached ...

Since the servers are remove, can I configure one interface as a fec 
device, assign its IPs over to it, then "add" the second device?

Also, where do you put your start up?  SAme as a regular interface, just 
throw it into a startup.if_fec file or something like that?
