We use an appliance to control bandwidth and setup packages for our
customers, so it needs to be in the location it's at so I can feed it
multiple connections from different areas. It wasn't as big of a deal
when all our connections came through a single backhaul, but now we are
adding additional fiber connections that all need to go through this one
box.

There is going to be a lot, as this will be carrying 90% of our ISP

using a separate aggregation switch, then dumping into the 6506? Was trying
to save money by using the 6506.
I think you would be better off rethinking your approach to this problem.
There are plenty of tools for bandwidth control, but hairpinning your
traffic through a single point of failure is one approach I would avoid -
particularly in a service provider environment. In general, you would be
much better off using ingress / egress qos as close as possible to the
customer.
