I'm going to repost my link from the Proxmox forum. I'm just not getting the bridging aspect of it I suppose. Every time I try making a bridge it doesn't seem to work, I've looked at the network config posts and nothing, if anyone could give me a step-by-step dumbed down way to do this I'd really appreciate it

If they are physical, is the issue you have is how to configure Proxmox to access external subnets ? if so this may be a general setup issue not specific to PetaSAN.
If you have a interface count limit, note that in PetaSAN you can have more than one subnet sharing the same interface, typically using different vlan. Although not recomended you can also have several networks use the same subnet and ip range, with the exception of iSCSI2 as it requires to be a different subnet for iSCSI MPIO, if trying such single subnet, you need to make sure your to/from public addresses for the different gateway services are separate, again it is not a recommended setup but maybe it will help.
