Thanks for the info. It must have been some other config problem that I misinterpreted as the trunk interface needing an ip. Altered the hostname.trunk0 with the appropriate parameters (no ip, just up and trunkdevs) and all is well. Started this this morning and changed a lot in that time frame. Works like a charm.
