The reason I ask is that we provide layer 2 transit over our wireless network using a freebsd 5.4 / 6 appliance. Recently we have been approached by a group that wants to use VLANS for QOS using their own routers but unless we encapsulate their traffic in our own VLANs we will eventually run into an issue with VLAN conflicts between this group and another potential VLAN user. Any input that the FreeBSD community has to offer on this issue, or other solutions that we may not have thought about would be greatly appreciated.
