Hyper-V Virtual Network and Broadcom Teaming Utilizing VLAN

hi,

i working on hyper-v virtualization implementation desire have servers on 2 different vlans, 1 existing on dmz , 1 on internal network.  using dell poweredge 2950 server broacom ii gigabit nics. individual nics hooked dell powerconnect 5424 switch vlan tagging. have sonicwall 2400 firewall on switch manage traffic between internal , dmz vlans.

if set individual network cards support vlan tagging, , assign hyper-v virtual network switch eachm assign servers each switch, desired result.

however, if use broadcom access control suite team cards fault tolerance, , give tagged vlan id, hyper-v manager complains basp virtual adapter physically not support vlans. can, however, set individual cards on teams  utilize vlans , create basp virtual adapter in bacs untagged, allow me create vlan id, not seem carry traffic.

anyone have luck getting vlans working on teamed broadcom cards on dell systems? think not supported config, thought people have got working.

thanks!
