Package: vlan
Version: 1.9-3
Severity: wishlist
I have been using a small extension for the if-pre-up.d/vlan script
for quite some time for Gibraltar firewall. This patch allows to use
arbitrary interface names for the VLAN interfaces such as "dmz.0" and
"external.1" as long as the ".<number>" extension is used (mostly so
that the if-post-down.d/vlan script can remove it again). There are no
problems whatsoever in practice, and we have been using a script like
that on many in-production boxes so far.
Please consider applying this for the next release.
