One set for a local keyboard/monitor/mouse, and one to a 16 port Belkin KVM. The IP box can handle upto 64 KVM ports, and the KVM can daisy chain to an extent I don't know. You don't say how many servers, but 64 is quite a lot. I believe Belkin do a 4 channel IP box too. Total cost was, I think, ~£700. To remotely manage >16 servers, peanuts.
That's cheap! I'm looking at their page right now. And 64 is enough for sure (at least during the first year).
