I don't have any experience with inline, but don't think Active/Active can
work properly that way without some real thought.
Vlan enforcement in active/active works for RADIUS supported switches/APs,
but I don't think it will work right with SNMP supported Switches/APs.
It comes down to your need.. .Our need for active/active isn't really out
of load on the PF box, but to minimize downtime if there is a failure or
issue on one of the systems.
