Several chilli process in the same computer

Two different things.. adding additional 'dhcpif' interfaces is an  
interesting idea - particularly for routers where multiple instances  
is less an option. You could use that with VLANs (whereby you have  
interfaces for each vlan). Having chilli support 802.1q directly  
would mean something a bit different. It could mean that your dhcpif,  
just the one interface, with multiple VLAN/802.1q traffic, can be  
handled by one chilli. It could also mean chilli uses 802.1q for  
upstream packets -- thereby having the option of assigning sessions  
to certain upstream VLANs.
