ouch!  a large %age of the boxes we deploy have a firewall/DomU & and
a NAS/Domu, each with dedicated, pass'd-thru NICs.  without passthru,
performance is lousy.

so, iiuc "not really a high priority", i guess -- short of 'growing'
someone with the skills -- we're hosed.

the unfortunate irony is we *moved* to Fedora because the passthru
support in RHEL was flaky, and Fedora was touted as "the right way to
get it".  regressing a working feature that differentiates the distro
would not have been my first choice ... majority, or otherwise.

thanks for the straight-up !

now to figure out *which* supported distro CAN fit my needs. sigh.
