Bridging VLANs in Linux.

Troubleshooting this odd VLAN bridging design:

For some reason unicast packets from the GW wont reach host A.
Note that host in vlan43 has successfully acquired IP from vlan114 DHCP range. 
Host A ARP table shows the 10.113.114.1 hardware address as incomplete.
to be continued...

-update-
problem solved. Issue was that a vmware vswitch does not accept several MAC addresses from a single port. Use promiscuous mode or replace it with a physical switch.
