Mapping physical subinterfaces to vRouter native interfaces

For our testing, we need to connect one or more native interface on each vRouters to a different tagged sub-interfaces of a physical port on the host. I can't see any easy way of doing this. I realise that I could hack the /etc/network/interfaces to statically bridge ethX.Y sub-interfaces to different pnet images but I'm hoping that there is a better way.

Also - is there a limit on the number of pnetX interfaces that can be used? In some labs we need more than the default 10 pnet interfaces if each one is mapped to a physical sub-interface.

Isn't better to use classic trunk port connected to virtual router and your tagged dot1q interfaces reach whatever you need over it.

Rest simple VLANs SVI will do the job

That might work for my current technology demonstration but if, as I hope, budget is approved for upgrading to the Corporate solution (with ~4-10 users), the different labs from different users would really need to share the same physical interfaces using different VLANs.

This wouldn't seem easy to achieve with a vRouter acting effectively as a switch breaking out a single physical trunk to lots of access interfaces or have I overlooked something about how different labs run by different users could communicate with this proposed "shared virtual switch" in the Corporate version?
