Some comes to mind. I'm looking at setting up a couple of small computer
labs with a single server shared between two or more labs. Rather than
run each lab off a different NIC in the server, I'm thinking of a switch
at the server with each lab running off its own switch (cascaded off the
server switch). Is that horrible? Do I lose any benefit of a 100Mb
network by going such a route? Would I be better off with 10Mb hubs?

Know what I mean?
