Should work no problem.

If you have FreeBSD on both ends, you might also consider a leaner
approach using ng_one2many(4) and ng_iface(4)... e.g.

                      +--------+
                      |  ng0   |
                      +--------+
                          || inet
                          ||
                          || one
                     +----------+
                     | one2many |
                     +----------+
                 many0/ many1|  \many2
                     /       |   \
                  [T1a]    [T1b] [T1c]
