Used you'll find dc(4) (if you have space for a long PCI card) and hme(4), or there's em(4) gigabit. I suspect that onboard bridges (as often[usually?] found on quad nics) increase the chances of things not working correctly if the motherboard isn't quite supported/compatible. The vlan idea makes a fair bit of sense - carp(4) over vlan(4) over trunk(4) over $some_nic(4) or some other mix - but if this is used for security be aware that your switch then becomes a security device. Google will find more information, including http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_white_paper09186a008013159f.shtml
