[Bro] Hardware Experience

Good afternoon, list.  I'm hoping to get a quick opinion on some  
hardware.  I've done some brief looking and not really found what I'm  
seeking so I'll post here in hopes that one of you can share some  
experience.
I'm exploring deployment of some Bro boxes and was hoping to leverage  
a great deal that Sun is offering to get the hardware.  I know that  
the boxes can do what I need them to do, as I've worked on Bro  
implementations elsewhere.  What I'd really like to know is if anyone  
has used the Sun (Intel Chipset 82598) dual port 10g cards?  They're a  
decent savings of capitol, but I'd rather just spend the money to get  
the cards I'm used to (single port 10g Intel or Myricom) if the dual  
port cards behave strangely or are a time-vortex to get working.
I'm making an assumption that the dual port cards operate similar to  
the single port cards.  Has anyone used these in a bro deployment?


Thanks,
nb
