[c-nsp] how to secure a vlan?

Well there are about 30 different vlan's that will need different
access to the server farm.  Would it be in my best interested to have
one acl on vlan 250 and secure things accordingly or just have an acl
per client vlan and work with it that way?  I also understand that I
can only have one access group per vlan or port.  I've done some
reading and I think the best way to manage the acl's is to have two
identical acl's, labeled 101 and 102, then make the changes needed to
the acl that is not assigned to the port, then once the changes are
done and tested then apply the access group change to the port(change
it from 101 to 102 and vise versa).  Does that make sense?
