1.1 is running rather nicely on 2000 or so deployed sunrays here,
clustered across 15 E4500's. 1.1 ostensibly adds device support for the
USB, video, and audio input devices on the actual terminals, but I
haven't seen any details on how this is done yet.

Well, using them on a private network is a must. As for dual interface,
you'll have to clarify. A sunray server needs to have one interface to
the LAN, and one to the SunRay network. Is that what you meant? Even if
it were technically possible to share with a regular network segment, I
sure as hell wouldn't want to. They specify switched 100Mbit for a
reason on those things, they're severely bandwidth intensive.
