We need to keep the server(server-1) and the clients which connect to
this server, within the campus distance(1-3 km).
We have other servers also, as part of the network.

I would like to know whether it is a good idea to keep the server-1
and its clients as part of the same LAN, or different LANs(and they
communicate via the router). What are the factors that I should
consider to decide this. For the time being, please ignore the VLAN
configuration for it.
