Then there is the Scott rule that says that I will "try" to keep as much
traffic on the local LAN or VLAN _as possible_ but let the requirement(s)
dictate what actually happens.
;-)
Our server have a NIC in each VLAN but for Internet, they are going to go
off of the Local LAN anyway so we don't worry to much about that.
It's a rule of thumb anyway. The less work a router has to do, the better.
