[c-nsp] 3750E as backup edge router default only

[-Hammer-]

Also I'm struggling with your ARP concerns. You will be "routing" on 
this device right? How much local (broadcast domain) activity will you 
have where you would be building up a large ARP cache? Would this be a 
stack with a bunch of flat stuff staggered off it as will as performing 
the routing function?
