Hmmm I didn't know chilli could not work this way .... :(

I was under the impression that's how the ieee8021q option works,
where I could have one instance of chilli "managing" a few VLANs on the same network interface.

There is another reason why such scheme will be useful. Say for example on the server machine where chilli is running, I created many VLANs on dhcpif eth0. And eth0 is connected to a port on the managed switch where VLAN tagging is enabled. On the same switch there are many untagged VLAN ports where each client is connected. By doing so, we accomplish "client isolation" - ie the clients are blocked from talking to each other.
