No -- its quite useful for any situation where you might want to communicate
with specific VLANs on a network (or make them). Feel free to consider having
the IP address of your Samba server on a VLAN address so that the network
traffic isn't 'visible' to other hosts and the workgroup doesn't show up in
everybody's Network Neighbourhood (for a fast example).
This would require (usually) using VLAN capable network cards on the Windows
machines of course.
