At the S-DALINAC we used functional segregation (cf. [1] p. 107f). The 
reason for this was security: We wanted to make sure that the office 
network is separate from the accelerator's network. It's also a good 
idea to keep the data acquisition network of the experiments separate of 
the accelerator network. You also might want to consider moving some 
machines like configuration databases, archiver machines etc. into some 
sort of a demilitarized zone.

Generally, a good starting point would be to use separation analogue to 
the social separation of the groups that are maintaining the machines on 
your network. This gives each group a reasonable amount of freedom in 
their VLAN while making connections to other machines a reasonable thing 
to maintain. Note that over-segregation results in a lot of work for the 
administrators of your gateways and also might have some impact on 
performance. Under-segregation, on the other hand, leads to problems 
caused by administrators which are not aware of the details of all 
machines on the network as well as security issues.

HTH,

Martin
