I've done a tcpdump -p (non promisc) and was looking at the packets coming 
in on the main interface (eth0). What I was seeing was all the packets, 
including the vlan tagged packets for vlans 4, 5.  This didn't seem right. 
When I tcpdumped, the vlan interfaces, I received the correct stripped 
packets.

I was wondering if I should see those packets on eth0 for the other vlans 
when I execute tcpdump in the non-promiscuous mode? I was looking at the 
code to see where the packets are being stripped out, but it's not clear 
where that's happening. We're worried that packets leaking out of a 
different system might be impacting our own system even though the default 
interface should not be processing tagged packets.
