Networking with MAC address's

Ok, here is the situation.... I have a phyical server that has 6 phyical nic's.  One is for the "business lan", the other is private(connected to another server via a crossover cable).  the other 4 use software from James Boden for spoofing MAC address's(ligitmate)  Does this to take with field devices.  I think i was close but for some reason unable to get a connection.  My questions are

1)  Can I have more than 1 MAC address through a port group? How would that be configured?

2)  How would a crossover be configured between two virtual servers?

I think I am close,,,, just missing that 1 bit...

Thanks for all the help.

1.) I'm not sure about your virtual setup and why you need multiple MAC addresses on one port (you can have multiple virtual NICs on one port group though)

2.) To connect two VM's you just need to create a separate vSwitch to which you connect the VMs. If the VMs are on the same host, you don't need a physical uplink. If they are on different hosts, you can connect the physical NICs for the vSwitches using a cross over cable.
