Why? Just buy a 2960 with 48 ports or use a platforn which creates
virtual switches.

Could you not just use for eg Vlan100 on module 1 and vlan200 on mod
2. you could then connect the second switch via access ports rather
than trunks and translate the vlan in this way. - Very confusing
however

A good solution if you need job security - dont think I would want to
maintain this.
