Shadi,

    If you've got more than 1 vlan on the 2950, you can modify the spanning
tree port costs on the trunks so vlan x is forwarding on trunk 1, but vlan y
is forwarding on trunk 2. If it's all 1 VLAN on the 2950, I suppose you
could split the switch into 2 vlans, with a non-trunk from each connecting
to a 6509, same vlan on the 6509 side. Interswitch traffic between VLANs
would need to pass over the 6509s then. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's
an option.
