A quick point of clarity.

VLAN routing is not a technology.  In fact, the two terms are completely unrelated.  A 
VLAN is simply a broadcast domain that is not specifically bounded by physical 
limitations.  Routing on the other hand has to do with building forwarding tables and 
making forwarding decisions based on layer three addressing.  The fact that VLANs and 
layer three networks or subnetworks tend to relate to each other on a 1 to 1 basis is 
purely the result of good design practice and not a requirement by any means.  

In any event, as I'm sure you'll agree the 2600 routes, the question becomes, do its 
interfaces support 802.1q or ISL tagging in order to allow it to differentiate between 
multiple broadcast domains existing on one physical link.  Although I expect it does, 
I have never really looked this up so I'll defer to one of the groups members who are 
actually configuring things these days.
