I believe what you wish to do is layer2 load balancing using path
manipulation via STP. This is done by manually setting the root bridge in
the STP configuration per VLAN.
VTP allows a switch to be a client, server, or transparent. VTP servers can
create, modify, or delete VLANs, clients operate the same as servers but
cannot create, modify, or delete VLANs, transparent switches do not
participate in VTP, but can pass on VTP advertisements. I have seen VTP
configured many ways in the field. I suggest that for your lab, set them
all to server, that way you can create a vlan, name it, and the other
switches in the same VTP domain learn of the VLAN dynamically.
