  Thanks for the reponse to far.  To clarify several things based on the 
feedback...  For the implementation "Host A" side is going to be N 
number of servers that are pointing at a NAS filer device that is on 
the "Host B" side of my example so the interconnection needs to be 
switches and can't be direct-connects.  Also, the targeted quantifiable 
throughput will need to be > 1Gbps so I need "always-on" link 
aggregation.

Thanks for the responses so far!
