I have a stack of 5 Cisco 3750Xs. I am debating between taking all my servers and putting them on one of the 5 switches, or distributing them over the first few ports of all 5 switches? All of the servers need to talk to the other servers.
My only thought is that if I distribute the ports across the stack, too much traffic will be passing between the switches via the stackwise cables as the servers are constantly attempting to talk to each other.
If this helps, we only have one uplink connection to our ISP at this point, but our servers tend to take care of requests locally before having to traverse outside the network.
