I beg to differ on this one. I'm currently dealing with a network that has
4 VLANs. Two of those VLANs use multiple subnets. the only thing you need
to do to make another subnet work on a VLAN is a secondary IP on the router
interface for that VLAN. Remember - VLANs are layer 2 (MAC address), not
Layer 3 (IP address). The only entity that cares what subnet a node belongs
to is the router.

You must use a router between any networks, even if they are on the same
VLAN.  You do not need a router to merely connect VLANS if they are on
the same network.  However, you could just make them just one VLAN in
that case.
