It's overkill.  Having too many zones will increase network traffic and slow
down your ZDCs.  I suggest reviewing the Admin and Advanced Admin guide.
There are some pretty good nuggets in there.

Subject: [THIN] Dell Blades and Seperate Zones

 

We are in the process of building up a new environment that has the
potential to grow rather large.  We are using Dell Blades for our Citrix
servers...starting with one chassis and adding up 6-10 more chassis by the
next quarter.  We are working on the design of the environment and we came
up with a question.

 

To cut down on network traffic, would it be feasible to create a zone from
each blade center so that communication back to the datastore from one
server in each chassis is the only "network" traffic.  Everything else
should stay within the chassis's themselves, correct?  Does this make any
sense or is it overkill?

 

Thanks,
