PPPOE over VLan Interfaces

I am using a similar setup for parallel testing of ADSL modems:
-> FreeBSD 4.X box with a PCI quad-interface
-> two ethernet interfaces connected as trunks to a 48 port switch
-> one port used for "regular" connectivity and administration
-> every port except the trunk and admin ports configured in different vlans
-> every VLAN with it´s own PPPOE connection
-> every PPPOE login script with it´s own static hostroute to a particular IP
address on a download server, uniquely set up for this PPPOE connection
(hostroutes required to force traffic through every PPPOE connection)
-> MRTG for monitoring the throughput on each interface in the switch

Works great for 2 years now.

The only thing I´d monitor is the throughput on the trunks. Apart from that the
configuration should scale reasonably well.

I´m not quite sure if this was what you wanted to know but hey: you asked for
VLAN and PPPOE ;-)

Cheers,

Emre
