I'm afraid mac-vlans is not a solution here. Having 2x more interfaces=20
(ex. 2000 instead of 1000) makes everything (especially routing,=20
firewalling and QoS) much more complicated. It would be nice to have=20
something like "ip addr add a.b.c.d/24 dev vlan32 hwaddress=20
aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff".

BTW: is it possible to stack mac-vlans ontop of .1Q vlans?
