[c-nsp] L2 control protocol tunneling

Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to get a Cisco switch to ignore  
STP BPDUs and simply pass them through the box, apart from L2CP  
tunneling?   We have a scenario where we have a customer 6500  
connected to an Ethernet NID device which is doing QinQ that is then  
connected to a 4507 which aggregates VLANs to another device that does  
EoMPLS on a per-vlan basis.   The customer would like to run PVST+  
across this connection.  We cannot participate in their STP since the  
NID is adding another VLAN tag to their incoming packets. This doesn't  
seem like enough to make the Cisco pass the BPDUs through the switch...
