Hello Ben,

ok, thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with ovs and the potential
advantages/disadvantages or even the viability of various approaches. I was
hoping there might be an "obvious/recommended" way, but if that's not the
case, I would like to go the vlan route.

Perhaps someone has some tips as to how I may get dhcp working with vlans;
or, if say, it's too impractical to get vlans working with dhcp, maybe
someone has another idea.

I would obviously also try the OpenFlow route, but with my limited
understanding of ovs, I doubt I'd be able to get it working without an
explicit example to get me started it the right direction.

Regards,
TF
