Hi Leigh,
We have here Close to 20 Cat 3750's in each Metro ring. All the L3 trffic is
terminated on Cisco 7600's at the root of the Ring.
Even in this SP Metro network it will take less than 100 ms to re-converge
the spanning tree.
We are running RSTP here.
So I donot see any reason why you should not do it on L2, specialy in your
case,.
If you still wants to use L3, then you can use L3/L2 core.
That is Route all the vlans in L3 from 3750 , but GK VLAN you can
terminate directly on Cat 6500 which is for 2 gatekeepers.
HTH
Cheers
Imal
