# Retrieving the primary router and subnet for a determinate VLAN
# associated with a SoftLayer customer account 
# We do this with a call to the getObject() method in the 
# SoftLayer_Network_Vlan API service using an object mask to retrieve  
# associated subnets and primary router records. See below for more details.
