This should work. All Gbit switches I'm aware of negotiate the standard
with the network card attached to one of the ports. So mixing the two
standards in not a problem and works just fine here.

At the moment I am thinking about buying a new gigabit backbone switch that I can connect all of the other switches to, and this gigabit switch should have enough extra ports so that all of the internal servers can connect here directly (a 24-ports gigabit switch should be enough). That way it should be possible to get 100Mbit/s from the servers to each of the older megabit switches. This should give a more acceptable speed for the clients connection to the fileserver (through the older megabit switches).
