It is possible to span 2 collison domains across 1 VLAN...so
yes they could be, if it were possible with FreeBSD (?IS it?) to
put two ethernet cards in this setup:
FreeBSD
int1 int2
/ \
/ \
/ \
switch1 switch2
If int1 and int2 were part of the same collision domain, then
switch1 and switch2 would also be part of the same collosion
domain and visa versa. This would be pretty cool to see happen,
essentially making a VLAN switch (with Layer 3 capabilities).
