I am on the latest code version 6, is there any way around this or should I look for a layer 3 solution. This is all about a pair of internal controllers connecting to a pair of external controllers in a mesh of tunnels and bridging a common vlan. It would be nice if my network architect would allow me to use dot1q so I could bridge multiple vlans up from internal to dmz, frankly tunnelling through a firewall like this sort of achieves the same thing except I can't seem to run a trunk over a tunnel (maybe a solution there for a design problem on my part).. But he is the boss! And I DO respect that! Any thoughts?
