[nsp] Span on multiple switches

Hello,

A quick question regarding span:  I have multiple switches trunked together,
say  a---b---c---d---e.
If I have multiple vlans configured on the switches, but I am trunking them
all the way through my network, how could I configure monitoring
on switch E to recieve all traffic from all switches?  I was thinking I
could monitor everything on each switch, and then set the monitor port as
the trunk port.
My concern then is with overloading the trunk.  Is there a standard way to
do this?  Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Tim
