Putting all the APs in the same L2 domain has been done before,

concern prevents you from segmenting the APs as you wish.
Small domain?
We have about 950 AP in one subnet with sometimes 3000 concurrent
users
and it works great. We did take some measures to prevent unwanted
broadcast traffic though.
Philippe,
What specific things have you done to reduce broadcasts.
