Thanks, but I believe the subject has been covered:  bonding doesn't work.
You're still limited to 1G even with bonding.  That is *if* bonding is even
supported by ESX (it seems like it's probably not).  And when I look around
for 2G or 4G fc equipment, I see prices that are even higher than 10G
Ethernet.  

There seems to be no intermediate step ... The available market offerings
jump directly from $20 for 1Ge, to $500 or $600 for either 10Ge, or 40G
