[rescue] Looking for servers and net equip in Ireland/UK

[James Fogg]

Cool, but if these are just colo sites you probably don't need the layer 3. I
am a huge advocate of using layer 3 switching with VLAN's and I get angry with
"router on a stick" designs, so you won't find any argument from me. But, if
every box talks to the 2600 and they don't communicate heavilly amongst
themselves then you can do this without the Cat2948gl3's and save tons (and
keep your vlans too).
