Chuck,
This will work fine. Here's how I would set it up:
One MSFC in each switch.
Two HSRP groups.
One MSFC is primary for one group and standby for the other. Vice versa for
the other group.
Even VLANs use group 1 as their default gateway.
Odd VLANs use group 2.
This allows you to load balance traffic across the switches and also have
redundancy in case of failure.
Sincerely,
Larry Roberts
