Hi, I have a question about VLAN interfaces on FreeBSD. I've read the documentation and have set them up on a machine. After doing so though the machine seems less network responsive. Does implementing VLAN interfaces / tagging slow down network performance? I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6 on a 500mhz Pentium III w/ 256mb ram. The reason for wanting VLAN tagging is the machine has once NIC and I wanted to multi-home it without having to install another NIC. The network card is using the 'fxp' driver. -- Blake Covarrubias
