[c-nsp] VMware teaming Nic's and multiple switches

[Scott Voll]

What if you have all the VM Nic's are setup as Trunks so the VMware team
can place the new VM's on the network that is needed?  Does that affect any
of this?  Currently I have a 4506E and was planning on either a stack of
3750's or another 4506E.  Thoughts?
