The requirement is simply to provide multiple VRF's (3 to 5) at any remote
site, the vrf's will vary site-to-site based on local requirements.
In an ethernet scenario, I agree VRF-Lite, dot1q and away we go, but here I
have a cloud in the middle connecting several (20-30) DSL sites to a head
office (hub and spoke), and the thought of having to manage multiple
tunnels (one per vrf), per site is making me cringe..

Or am I missing something, is there some other way to more easily manage
these multiple tunnels?

Thanks,
Aaron
