So, if you tried to create a bunch of vlans and then bridged them all together to terminate them on a single router interface/subnet/ip, thats not going to work. What you just did didn't really segment anything at all, and turned a fairly high performance (relatively speaking) router into a kind of "hub". Remember hubs? Before swithces? Terrible, terrible things.
VLANs are not complicated constructs, and it drives me nuts that they are so poorly understood. For you to segment your network, there are two ways to do it. You can do it at layer2 with vlans, but those vlans will still terminate on their own subnet at a router somewhere. The other way to do it is via layer3, and route everything through your network. Both have advantages, and the advantages of both depend on the network design, transport medium used, etc. Are you currently running a large bridged/switch network and having issues?
