[nsp] MPLS & VLAN w/IBM Mainframe

A prospect is looking to partition some resources from their IBM 390 to
use in testing some mail/web services on it (currently just accounting
apps are used.) In doing so, they need to be able to isolate the
partition to the lab's VLAN (all cisco network.) Currently the IBM is
operating as one big 'server' as far as tcp/ip is concerned. I'm just
curious to if this is possible? IE does the IBM have the capability of
understanind the VLAN tags and send only to a specific partition? (I
don't expect to get a response from our IBM contact until mid next week
and I'm kind of pre-researching it.)

Thanx!

william
