A technique for identity based networking is disclosed. A system according to the technique can include a WAN, a first VLAN, a second VLAN, and a network database. The first VLAN and second VLAN can be coupled to the WAN. The network database can include VLAN information. In operation, a client that is authorized on the second VLAN can attempt to connect to the first VLAN. A switch in the WAN can perform a lookup in the network database and determine that the client is authorized on the second VLAN. Based on this information, the client can be connected to the second VLAN using VLAN tunneling.

The invention claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a WAN; a first VLAN coupled to the WAN; a second VLAN coupled to the WAN; a network database coupled to the WAN, the network database including VLAN information; wherein, in operation, a client that is authorized on the second VLAN attempts to connect to the first VLAN, a switch on the WAN performs a lookup in the network database and determines that the client is authorized on the second VLAN, and, based on the determination, the client is connected to the second VLAN via VLAN tunneling; wherein the switch is a network domain member, the system further comprising: a network domain seed coupled to the network domain member; wherein the network database is stored on the network domain seed and the network domain member queries the network domain seed to perform the lookup in the network database. 2. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the switch is a first network domain member, the system further comprising: a first network domain seed coupled to the first network domain member; a second network domain seed coupled to the first network domain seed; and a second network domain member coupled to the second network domain seed, the second network domain member supporting the second VLAN; wherein the first network domain member tunnels to the second network domain member to connect the client to the second VLAN. 3. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the switch is a network domain member, the system further comprising: a first network domain seed coupled to the network domain member; and a second network domain seed coupled to the first network domain seed; wherein the network database is stored on the second network domain seed. 4. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the switch is a first network domain member, the system further comprising: a second network domain member supporting the second VLAN, the second network domain member having a first tunnel affinity; and a third network domain member supporting the second VLAN, the third network domain member having a second tunnel affinity; wherein the first network domain member tunnels to the second network domain member instead of the third network domain member based, at least in part, on the first tunnel affinity. 5. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the switch is a first network domain member, the system further comprising: a first network domain seed coupled to the first network domain member; a second network domain seed coupled to the first network domain seed; and a second network domain member coupled to the second network domain seed, the second network domain member supporting the second VLAN; wherein the first network domain seed, the second network domain seed, the first network domain member, and the second network domain member are in geographically distinct locations. 6. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein the network database includes IP addresses for switches on the WAN, VLAN names, and VLAN tunnel affinities. 7. A system as recited in claim 1, further comprising: a first access point coupled to the switch; a second access point coupled to the switch; and a third access point coupled to the switch; wherein a precise location of the client is determinable by triangulation using data detected by the first access point, the second access point and the third access point. 8. A method comprising: receiving a log-in request from a client on a first VLAN; providing VLAN information associated with the client configuration on a second VLAN; determining, using the VLAN information, that the client is configured on a second VLAN; connecting the client to the second VLAN via VLAN tunneling; querying a network domain seed for the VLAN information; performing a lookup in a network database. 9. A method as recited in claim 8, wherein the log-in request is received by a first network domain member and the first network domain member tunnels to a second network domain member to connect the client to the second VLAN. 10. A method as recited in claim 8, further comprising: querying a network domain seed for the VLAN information; and retrieving information from a plurality of network domain seeds coupled to the WAN. 11. A method as recited in claim 8, wherein the VLAN information includes tunnel affinity information of at least two network domain members, further comprising: comparing tunnel affinity information, from the VLAN information, of at least two network domain members that support the second VLAN; and connecting the client to the network domain member with the highest tunnel affinity. 12. A method as recited in claim 8, further comprising: querying for the client's location; and returning a location of a switch that received the client's initial log-in request. 13. A system comprising: means for receiving a log-in request from a client on a first VLAN; means for determining the client is configured on a second VLAN using information retrieved over a WAN; means for connecting the client to the second VLAN via VLAN tunneling; wherein said means for determining includes: means for querying a network domain seed for VLAN information: means for performing a lookup in a network database: means for returning VLAN information. 14. A method as recited in claim 13, wherein the means for querying includes: means for retrieving information from a plurality of network domain seeds coupled to the WAN. 15. A system as recited in claim 13 wherein said information includes tunnel affinity information, the system further comprising: means for comparing the tunnel affinity information of two network domain members that support the second VLAN; and means for connecting the client to the network domain member with a highest tunnel affinity. 16. A system as recited in claim 13, further comprising: means for querying for a location associated with the client; and means for returning a location of a switch that received the log-in request from the client. 17. A system as recited in claim 16, further comprising: means for determining a precise location of the client using triangulation.
