That's kind of what I have at the moment.  It's a 100MB fibre link and
each port on the 16port switch actually feeds another switch(s) on a
student staircase with an average of 20 connected machines.

I'm just thinking about reducing the cross infection between
staircases when all the students return.  Plus sounded kinda cool!
Might even have added benfits in the future!
