I don't think you need to go as far as an ipspace to do this. Just only have 1 IP on the interface then assign that IP to the vfiler in question. That should do the trick. To me, the main reason to use different ipspace's is when you multiple private networks (like two 10.x.x.x networks) and you need to differentiate between them.

Just got asked about the best practice regarding dedicating a network interface to a vfiler to increase performance. I searched through NOW site and read some of the documentation and saw that ipspace should do the trick? Is it the best way? So i'd create an ipspace, assign interface to it, ifconfig the interface, then create a vfiler in that ipspace? Is there a way to move a vfiler to a different ipspace later? I didn't see that in the documentation.
Thanks,
