Another Network Test
I was concerned with the previous network test that perhaps it was slower than what it should be because of the bandwidth to the outside machine. To alleviate that I bonded the two gigabit ethernet cards in that machine effectively giving it a 2 gigabit pipe. As you can see from the results it didn't make much of a difference.
As always here is the excel spreadsheet with all of the test results.

Initial Network Test
After some headache and help from Devlin I was able to do some initial testing of the networking with VMWare. Devlin helped me get IOMeter compiled in Debian. Below are the graphs. The tests were run using iometer to read and write 1 MB of data. I'm not sure how valid these tests are because I only had one non VM machine for all of the Virtual Machines to run against so the performance may have been hindered by that and not just the fact that multiple Virtual Machines were all trying to go through the same interface. Anyway below are some graphs and an excel workbook with the test results.
