      @Gblenn Quick update! Got it working now. Installed proxmox (my first time using it) and set it up with some online guides. Created a router VM and passed the x710 NIC in the ms-01. Also bought a x540 PCI-e card with 2 RJ45 10GB ports and passed that through as well. I have created a LAN bridge now. I hear that that is not optimal for performance, and will probably buy a 10G switch at some point.

      Anyway, getting good speeds (ookla speedtest):

      Overall happy and will continue to tinker =)
