[c-nsp] how to accomplish multiple 'native' vlans

Thanks Frank.  This looks almost exactly what I was looking for, but
the VLANs would be switched around: VID 10 would come through tagged
(i.e. equipment mgmt VID) and VID 100/101 (i.e. customer VID) would
come through untagged.

Is this only on the newer switches?  I seem to remember I had to carry
the native vlan throughout the uplinks on an older 3550.

Thanks,
Chris
