Dual NIC VM's to be able to increase throughput when the VM is used as a router. #50

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The VM comes with one 1Gbit/s connection. But if you're also peering with some other non-neptune resource (maybe your homelab) you will only be able to achieve half the speed since the connection isn't symmetric.

Describe the solution you'd like A dual-nic vm (meaning 2x1Gbit/s) option would be able to provide 1Gbit/s connection to your own peer since you would to BGP peering with Neptune over one nic, and to your own resource via the second nic.

This might be overkill and would probably come with a cost since you would technically have a 2Gbit/s connection, but it could be worth it.
