Though you using 2 different VTP domains/VLAN databases, are the VLANs per business unit at least unique so the VLAN databases don't have overlapping VLANs?
What's the purpose of interconnecting the 4 switches? What are the connections between the 4 switches? access port (same vlan on each side or every switch)? trunk?
