I had not thought of putting the interfaces in promiscuous mode, but have since tested (as per your last email). Still no change.

I've added the above rules, no change:

root@h4222:~# ebtables -t broute -L
Bridge table: broute

Bridge chain: BROUTING, entries: 2, policy: ACCEPT
-p 802_1Q -i eth0 --vlan-id 3 -j DROP
-p 802_1Q -i eth0 --vlan-id 2 -j DROP

Thank you,
