Hi all

I know this is of topic, but I'll try anyway.
We have bought to new load balancers Netscaler SDX11500 from Citrix now that Cisco has made an announcement regarding this vs. ACE.
I have tried here in Denmark to get hold of documentation for this box hardware regarding the way it uses it interfaces when using LACP, but none has been able to point this out.
The box is full virtualised, and when configuring a virtual instance, they want to setup a LACP for each instance.
I can't see how this scales, if each instance need's its own interfaces.
We are planning 20 virtual instances, so that means we need 40 interfaces.
I there someone that know how this works, or where the I can find the right documentation.
Citrix's is full of endless configurations samples and how to setup, none describes how the hardware, or at least I can't find it.
