Actually I may not have a problem at all now that I look at this. I have a limited number of ethernet runs between my lab gear out in a data center and my desk where I'll be studying. I wanted to either use a 3560/3750 combination or I could use a 3750/3750 combination, leaving one near the servers and one near the phones at my desk.
Are all of the "remote" phones hanging off BR1, BR2, and the HQ-PH1 actually remote in the sense that I could leave them out near my equipment rack and/or run IP-Blue out there? Originally I was thinking I needed to have each phone on my desk. If that is not the case then I may be just fine.
