I am wondering about the specific design reasons for the second network interface on the Raq4, which ultimately determines its utility.Last thing you said. The Raqs and the Qubes are made with a primary and secondary NIC so they can be connected directly to the Internet on one NIC and connected to a LAN on the other. Lets you do things like NAT, IP masquerading, and firewall between the two.I guess the obvious bandwidth issue - two NICs for better throughput on the same network I guess the obvious redundancy issue - two NICs in case one goes bad, on the same network Is that it? Or could there be some routing done by the Raq4, i.e. could the two be on different networks?
