I've been trying to get something like that to work for over a year now. It mostly works, only the bridge will stop forwarding some arp replies coming in from a non-vlan interface to the trunk. Bridge sees the replies but they never make it onto the wire. If this was an STP (it's not enabled) issue, I assume the port would simply stop forwarding alltogether, not just ARP *replies*. (yeah, I know I sound like a broken record to those who've been following my posts ;) If there's any tests I can do to help on that front, just ask! I would be happy just knowing *why* it doesn't work so far but I don't know the code well enough to figure out where the packets might get discarded.
