Does that actually help? Does a 3560 merge multiple VLANs into a single
topology if they happen to use the same ports everywhere?

When I first hit the 128 VLAN limit on a 3560G I was a bit shocked and
decided to go with Q-in-Q to get around it. Then I hit the buffer limits
and switched away from Cisco.
