Maybe I shouldn't have phrased my last email like I did. Let me rephrase in language which doesn't involve mildly amused understatement:

--
Your proposed network structure is nothing short of a disaster waiting to happen. The question is not whether it will break, but *when* it will break, and whether it will be possible resuscitate it after it breaks. If you go ahead with your plans to build a network like this, your management will be fully justified in firing you for causing substantial and prolonged business disruption.

Do yourself a favour and hire a competent network consultant to advise you. There are lots of ways to make networks work well. Your proposal is not one of them.

apologies for being so blunt about this, but you will do yourself and your organisation no favours by daisy-chaining 28 switches.
