Hi Ameen,
Wouldn't it work to have a switch aggregating your monitor sessions just disable MAC learning? Traffic from a single input interface would be replicated to all other ports on the vlan where learning is disabled.
I've used this with a 3750, and I haven't seen any trouble (other than that you don't want that switch in-line with anything else).
