I'm not an expert on the VLAN stuff, so I cannot comment on this. The only 
thing I see is that you might add a ...DiscontinuityTime variable to the 
statistics table so that a managemnt station can correctly catch fast 
destroy/create cycles on the VLANs (if that makes sense). You might want 
to look at ifCounterDiscontinuityTime in ifMIB:ifXTable.
