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.
