Virtualising Exchange & configuring DAG

We have 2x sites and 2x exchange boxes and plan to configure DAG.  Is this possible as both ESXi hosts are using all 4x NICs.  i.e. does DAG require its own NIC?

as suggested above it is not mandatory to have a second nic for DAG. you can use the same for DAG replication. In VM you can add a second nic and configure replication on that nic.

okay.  I assume then for our small c30 user c80gb info stores that using the single nic for all exchange traffic will be ok still?
