I'll take your word for it, though I have had good luck using mac-vlans
in my own app. They are nice because the are full-fledged interfaces,
so you can treat them basically as .1q vlans or ethernet devices, including
all the routing and firewalling tricks.

I believe it will work fine. You could probably also stack .1q
VLANs on top of mac-vlans so long as you use the same MAC for the VLANs as for
the mac-vlan dev.
Thanks,
Ben
