Ok...I've read the Wikipedia definition of VLANs, and I can see how they
might be useful in a large network.  If it matters, we never run multiple
simultaneous load tests in our lab.  The rest of our office is on a
separate switch (same network mask)...but connected to the lab via the
lab switch.

So, forgive my ignorance, what problem would a VLAN solve for me?
