Yes, 4096 VLANs is a good point. 10/8 gives 64k /24 networks. I would
not use that if the original networks actually are in 10/8 however,
to avoid all the potential problems and confusion of mixing the
original addresses with the mapped ones. Since the original poster
wrote "numerous" and did not specify exact addressing setup, I wanted
to at least mention the scalability issue.

Thanks! :)
