Please pardon the top post.
Thanks for such a detailed response to the OP. I'm just starting on a
similar design and trying to figure out options. PVLANs on Nexus 7k was
going to be my starting point. Now I don't know

Hi,
We are investigating options to provide a VLAN-per-customer within a
hosting environment. Inside each VLAN could be hosting services, e.g.
hosted web servers, AD, Exchange (etc). In order to maximum the number
of supported VLANs, then the use of Private VLANs has been raised.
However,
Matt,
We looked at doing this ourselves a few years back. We decided to push L2
responsibility down to the customer rack and do all L3 at the distribution
layer. We use the venerable WS-C3550-48-EMI switches for this duty, and they
have been rock solid for years. We did have a few
We used to use (at a previous job) 3550's, private VLAN's, and
local-proxy-arp to achieve this. It would occasionally irritate customers
because our 3550 would win the ARP response for traffic going between their
hosts, though this usually wasn't an issue since we'd happily push those
few
