Thanks! Using VLANs worked perfectly. We ended up buying some quad gig NICs, but still had one or two zones that were without connection. As they were QA or expected to be low bandwidth servers, I used VLANs an had them share a connection with the global. A quick re-config on the switch port, and all was well.
