i have been following this post rather keenly. it now seems to have died
down. but still i am not able to understand what is a vlan interface.
can somebody please give me some pointer where i can read about this.
vlan i thought is a l2 concept and should have nothing to do with l3.
thanks in advance.
regards,
aseem.

Hmmm, I had always thought you couldn't use virtual interfaces.
# iptables -vI INPUT -i eth0:101
The above is not a virtual interface like VLAN interfaces are, only a
labelled IP address on eth0.
/sbin/ip addr show
will give you a quite good picture of these things.
to make your life saner I recommend unlearning ifconfig and instead
learn to use the ip command from iproute. ifconfig only confuses things..
This difference is also seen in netstat -i.
