I see brussles has answered the question about transparent mode
forwarding on VTP packets, so I would go with transparent mode.
From the doc CD:
Version-Dependent Transparent ModeIn VTP version 1, a VTP transparent
network device inspects VTP messages for the domain name and version,
and forwards a message only if the version and domain name match.
Because only one domain is supported in the supervisor engine
software, VTP version 2 forwards VTP messages in transparent mode,
without checking the version.
Good to know that about the different versions.
