Buy a cheap managed switch and set one port up as a monitoring port and dump all your IDS traffic there?

Hello,

Based on the below configuration, does anyone have an idea of what I might be doing wrong?

The following is a layout of the type of configuration, and I have tried one2many and hub, but was unable to obtain the desired results. Whenever I try to set multiple hooks to the same interface it fails, and trying to
bring a group of interfaces to a virtual interface, and then take that
virtual interface out multiple different interfaces, seems to fail (I can't even make the connection to the virtual interface to go to multiple outs.)

I will have 11 interfaces inbound from 11 different networks.
I will have 4 outbound to 4 different IDS's and sensors.
I would like to have 11 interfaces come into a single virtual interface. This way I could run tcpdump and/or snort on the box itself and obtain quick info, and do validation of packet data, between the capture system and the
IDS and sensors.
I would like to redirect all the traffic from that one virtual interface to
a group of 4 physical interfaces so the sensors can work on it.

Here is a configuration I tried.  Any comments or suggestions are
appreciated.
This initial script, only takes 3 input interfaces into a single virtual
interface.  This works.
Then when I try to take that virtual interface and echo it out multiple
interfaces, it fails.
