VLAN's, VMware ESxi, and Redhat EL
In environments were more than 4 VLAN’s exist you will have some difficulties getting all of them trunked into your VM’s. The best way seems to be trunking all the VLAN’s into single interface in your VM and then building multiple virtual interfaces within the guest OS.

DNS and DHCP Implementation
The School hosts its own Active Directory Infrastructure, this infrastructure depends on a DNS server that fully supports RFC 2136. Our administrative model relies on the ability of our clients to receive their network address from a DHCP server that fully supports RFC 2131. In a production environment we require that the services we rely upon do not implement “draft” or “beta” code.
