If you can run XenServer on ESXi, there there is 'virtual guest tagging'[1] where VLAN 4095 lets guest instances to send and receive tagged traffic on to physical network. Perhaps you can try creating a network with 4095 VLAN tag from CS and spin up XS VM instances.
You can do it on XenServer as well, but VIF needs to connect to a non-VLAN network. I use NetScaler VPX on XenServer[2], where VPX sends and receives tagged traffic from the XenServer.
