Thanks for the reply.  There is a native (untagged) VLAN on the trunk.
 It's the eth2 interface.  So if I understand you correctly, I need to
redirect the classified packets to the eth2 interface...is that
correct?  How is that specified in a rule?  Note, that I'm just
getting familiar with ebtables/iptables.

Thanks,
-Mike
