Probably not, depending on the infrastructure and traffic you could have performance issues, and even if not that's a large and ugly broadcast domain, as well as not very secure. > the networks usage is internet , some multimedia > content hosted on local web > servers , streaming , email server ..

As you noted, this is off-topic for the freebsd list; I suggest you look at Cisco's site for some whitepapers on network topology and implementation. > *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ Allah-hu-Akber*º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ Whatever.
