Yea ... That's kind of where I was going .... I figured the chassis in the
real rack could have the interfaces gor the managment modules and the
"chassis rack" would have the individual servers and switches and all their
respective connections.

I just wish there was a way to link the two  ....

Thanks,

--> Rob
