Can you do one-armed routing with an ISL capable NIC on a
server? Is it possible? If not, is this an OS limitation or an ISL capable
NIC driver issue.
Just curious..

My using an ISL aware NIC card in your server, you will have the ability to
create "virtual" NIC cards attached to the physical NIC card in the server
just like you create sub-interfaces on a router to talk to each VLAN. Each
"virtual" interface will then have an addresses assigned from each IP
network. This will allow clients on each VLAN to talk directly to the
server without going through a router.
Hopefully this will seal the breach in your head gasket :-)
