I'm very tempted to do c.  We're only at a little more than 1/8th the 
switch's claimed routing table capacity...but I don't like the idea of 
a configuration I know will fail eventually.  I guess in some places 
that's unavoidable.  7200s with 256mb are certainly nearing the end of 
their ability to take multiple full tables.

While nice for out of band management, I'm more interested in how to 
properly provide ethernet connectivity for the switch (for snmp stats 
polling for instance).  We have a large stack of PM2es and PM25s (left 
over from analog dialup service days) that we've been meaning to turn into 
console servers for years.
