Anyone have a recommendation for a KVM switcher that can handle dual monitors? Two computers would be fine, four is better, but so far I haven't found a KVM switch that can switch two monitors.

I've never used a KVM switch that supports two monitor interfaces but you could use two seperate identical 'regular' KVM switches and a PS/2 Y-Cable so that you could simultaneously switch both KVMs via the keyboard. Or you could open them up and join the switching circuits together.
