My network preference is:
* one net n.n.n.* for normal traffic
   - internet router on that net
   - some addresses reserved, some addresses available for DHCP
   - PC's and printers has fixed address
   - phones, TV's, fridge, sprinkler etc. get address via DHCP
* one net m.m.m.* for servers (virtual or physical)
   - my PC has an additional fixed address on that net
   - each server has a fixed address
