Chris,
If I can jump in at the bottom-end (being a wire and screwdriver
type)...
I know the type of setup you mean. It just grew without being planned.

You need to be able to connect the offices you are letting together, but
not to your machines.
If you can connect in this way, you will then need one feed back to the
routers, firewalls, etc.

If I wire 'remote' areas, I ALWAYS pull two cables. Then you have a
spare, or can route onwards to another office.
It would be better not to have 'their' and 'your' machines on the same
switches. - You only need one person to have a share on the local
machine, and you could end up with all sorts of 'political' problems.
If a perfect world, the let offices would not have any physical cabling
to anywhere on 'your' network. Only the cable(s) back to where the
routing is done.

Hope that helps.

You're welcome, that's what we're here for. ;-)
