The only way I could see this being done with Hybrid code would be to make 9 VLANs: 8 with 1 IP subnet and 1 IPX network, and 1 with 12 IP subnets and 1 IPX network. This doesn't take into account security/political issues arising from combining the IP networks into one broadcast domain. Incidentally, why can't you break the large IPX network up into multiple networks and have all of the VLANs follow the same 1 IP-1 IPX model?
