We've done something like this for EC2, where we list subnets in VPC's as separate realms, and you can launch instance's into these subnets by selecting the appropriate realm. I am not sure if this would be a good solution for vSphere; depends, e.g. on how many vlans people typically have. We could of course also go to managing networks explicitly and making 'network' an add'l parameter for the create instance call. Do the VM's you launch into a vlan only have one NIC, or is it necessary to talk about multiple NIC's and connect those to different vlans ? David
