vlan double tagging/802.1QinQ

Hi,

I have some vswitches with VLAN 4096, which pass VLAN tagged traffic between VMs. There are several of these using VLAN tags independently, that don't talk to each other. These vswitches currently have no physical interface associated with them. I'd like to be able to connect VMs from different ESX hosts to each of these vswitches (ideally using a dvswitch), but have the VLAN tags preserved, without traffic from vswitch1 leaking into vswitch2. The normal way to do this is 802.1QinQ, or VLAN double tagging.

Is it possible to do this in ESX/VCenter? Is there an alternative, or third party solution?

Thanks!

Bump - does anyone know if I can tunnel VLAN tagged traffic through vCDNI using vCloud Director?
