I think we are getting off the subject, I personally don't have 18 lans. I have two, which is good as I can hardly handle those.
I would prefer to use two different LAN adapters and allow some ports to route between the lans, I have a music server that both lans will share and I have to share the gateway to the internet and the PBX. I do not want windows network traffic to be seen across the lans. I'm not a network engineer and so I don't know the most elegant solutions but I thought having asterisk on the firewall and three NICS was a relatively easy way to control intra-network traffic and firewall the networks to the internet without compromising the PBX's ability to connect to the phones. Can anyone suggest a better way or give me some advice?
