Just to ask, what happens when the probe order changes and your multiple NICs start popping up on the wrong eth port? This may be *much* more difficult when one of several cards die (how do you know which one broke?) and then you replace it and discover the new probe order is different... Or will be be able to wire them down in the config file (which will at least address part of the problem)?
