Use VLAN-trunks.
someone using a $350 micro server as his ADSL gateway is highly unlikely to have layer 2 managed switches capable of handling VLANs.
I'm not sure this is an accurate statement. I purchased a 16-port linksys managed 10/100/1000 switch a year ago for $200, and it looks like there are managed switches for < $100 now:
+1, and that is new.
My employer purchases used HP Procurve managed switches for sub-$100 a piece. For the great majority of deployments they are more than adequate and the feature set is pretty good.
