Doing it on smaller network segments also allows you to separate research
traffic from administrative traffic and it makes it easier to build a Science
DMZ (http://fasterdata.es.net/science-dmz/).  You can delegate administrative
control of firewall contexts or virtual firewalls to departments, giving them
the responsibility--and authority--to further secure their systems.

We're working on implementing a Science DMZ, which will be "outside" the
firewall.  There's a grant you can apply for to help defray the cost of
implenting it, which we plan on doing.  I believe the grant is thru NSF.
