Best practice for NLB cluster nodes running in Unicast mode is to have two network cards to allow host communication to occur on one network interface card (NIC) while cluster communication is isolated on the cluster NIC. Multiple NICs can also add greater flexibility when it comes to controlling traffic and managing network security.
