Hey Shaun,
 config for 1000 vlans isnt so bad.. tracking them is worse!

You dont have to put each cust in a vlan.. group them.. does it matter if theyre 
in the same vlan - probably not.

I couldnt say if it will scale when you double or triple but usually growth 
makes your kit obsolete and the assumptions you made when you bought it and 
configured it a certain way will prove wrong and by that time you wont care as 
you'll be buying a new GSR with your profits ;)
