Sorry, that's was in another mistakenly off-list reply.

Kernel is 2.6.24, been seeing this problem since 2.6.16 when I started 
the setup.

That's an interesting idea which I haven't tried yet.  An interesting 
tidbit is that there is a handful of machines in the lot which are 
affected right away (as soon as I add a second vlan interface to the 
bridge).  It may just be that they just have a very short arp timeout.  
I tried to find a pattern in their MAC addresses or hardware but there 
isn't really one.  I first assumed there was a problem with those 
machines but given that the ARP reply never gets to the trunk cable 
going their way, I concluded otherwise.

Thanks a lot for the help.  The fact that you have a setup that works 
gives me some confidence that I'm not just trying to do something insane ;)
