Hello Ben, thanks for your answer. I'm not really too familiar with VLANs, but I did look into this once with vde-switch from virtualsquare.org, and identical MACs were not supported. I suspect there might be VLAN switch implementations where uniqueness/routing is determined by MAC+VLAN bits, but I'm only guessing. I will look into this and OpenFlow, but it would be nice if someone who is in the know could lead me in the right direction, before I spend endless hours barking up the wrong tree.
