o why different -net guest -net host pairs are not getting different

sequences.
I think the major issue is that the definition of a "pair" is when the
vlan-options match. There's no requirement to define the two after each
other.
I mean something like this (rough approximation:
int host_vlan_no = 0, guest_vlan_no = 0;
while(parse_option()) {
if (option == host-side-net) {
if (!explicit_vlan) vlan = host_vlan_no;
++host_vlan_no;
}
if (option == guest-side-net) {
if (!explicit_vlan) vlan = guest_vlan_no;
++guest_vlan_no;
}
}
this way, consecutive host-side -net will receive
consecutive vlan=NN, and consecutive guest-side -net
also consecutive vlan=NN numbers.
But having in mind Marc's reply I don't think it's
necessary anymore.
Thanks!
