ah, you're used to cisco switches then. yes, that's correct. vlan 1
is "special". most other vendors make a distinction between untagged
and tagged vlans (I find cisco's treatment of this quite un-intuitive).

it should be fine. it's not uncommon to bridge vlans like this,
it's a good way to protect machines against others in the same subnet
(much less wasteful than giving customers a /30 for their server
and much cleaner than the nasty DHCP hacks some providers of cheap
"root servers" make).
