I am familiar with the theory

I was wondering If anyone had actually done this, and if there are any real 
world caveats.

I will be testing this week, however the kit is in Hong Kong, so it's a bit 
"remote handsy"

Subject: Re: [c-nsp] Dell VLT to Cisco VSS

VSS is single control plane so it's all one big chassis, the dell switch would 
have no idea it isn't connected to a single 6500 and should work without issues.
VPC is dual control planes using mLAG which is still transparent to the LAG 
partner as long as the control protocol is standard (802.1ax w/ LACP for
example)  there *should* be no issues.
stritcly talking about link aggregation here, whatever else you might be 
running is another story as with everything... test it first :)
