Presently we run end to end vlans w/LANE. We are going to the gigabit ethernet design with end to end vlans. We plan for a slow migration to local vlans. Once the migration to local vlans is complete then a server/client model might be more efficient. Talking to another network professional, transparent mode seemed to be the only way during the transition period to local vlans. I really prefer transperent over the server/client model. But I don't want my ill advised emotions not to give the other side a fair chance.

How large is your switch domain? Are you doing End to End VLANs or Local? How large is your STP domain now? Will it grow larger? Here a link I would start with http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/473/21.html ( stater for VTP) then hit this one http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/so/neso/lnso/cpso/gcnd_wp.htm (covers GigE Design) Design solutions are usually need and resource driven...as for standards they change(some daily).
