Seconding Peter's request that you not top-post. We read and write this =
language left to right, top to bottom, and nothing about email changes =
that.

You say "un-trusted devices" but would have to trust the device to =

configured to tunnel everything on a the untrusted port into a VLAN. =
And/Or configure so that the untrusted port is switched only to the =
FreeBSD router port.

Would be easiest to slip another NIC in the FreeBSD router for this =
purpose. Then no VLAN, everything is handled in your firewall.
