Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, was unsure where best to post.

I have a database server connected to app server running on the web.

The DB server replicates to a second server using a product called X Link.

Until recently we only had one network card configured in each server (there are currently four installed but only one used) I am thinking it is not good having all the traffic going through one connection, i.e users connecting to the server and the same connection being used to replicate to the back up server.

I am going to connect the other cards using another switch, I know I can configure XLink to use a particular NIC, but what about the connection between the SQL DB server and the app server, is it possible to "force it" to use a particular connection?

Both servers are Dell R900 (the back up server we replicate to is a Dell 2950)

We use SQL 2005 Ent.
thanks

Peter
