Hi,

Linux routing tables + iptables can be used to selectively route users
to different WANs. The concept of carrying forward the VLAN is
interesting, but not currently possible. Yes, everything on the tun
device isn't VLAN (in fact, tap is of course limited to IP). It could be
possible to pass forward VLAN tagged frames to the tap interface,
however.
