If you mean that bandwidth between 2 boxes on
one switch is higher than that between 2 boxes
connected to different NICs on some server, then
that's absolutely normal and expected. No server
can match the speed of a Cisco, and no Cisco can
match the speed of a cheap unmanaged switch.

If you mean that ftp client and ftp server are
connected to different NICs on the router in both
cases (30Mbit and 100Mbit transfers), it is
explainable, because traffic from DMZ to
LAN usually gets a closer look than that
from LAN to LAN. You might or might not get
better performance with FreeBSD as the router.

Thank you for the explanation.
