Okay, I said that wrong. . . your 'right way' is a subset of the REAL
'right way' which is to end up with a subnet big enough to handle your
clients. Either a big enough block, or multiple VLANs with the right
number of client machines for the block assigned to it.
So, we're both right, I'm just more right than you :-D
