[c-nsp] Private VLANs for customer isolation on sup720/12.2(33)

All,

We've got a pair of Cisco 6500/sup720 serving as our datacentre 
collapsed routing/distribution.

Servers are attached to downstream Foundry/Brocade devices, and possibly 
other dumb/cheap devices in future.

Can I use private VLANs in this case to isolate customers and avoid 
burning 5 IPs (network, broadcast, HSRP master, slave & vip) 
per-customer? I do *not* want to stop customers talking to each other at 
layer3 - just get some degree of isolation (including the "sticky arp").

I think I can't, because 12.2(33)SXI seems to lack "switchport mode 
private-vlan trunk". Is this correct?

What I want to do is:

vlan 600
   name customer-1
   private-vlan community
vlan 601
   name customer-2
   private-vlan community
vlan 60
   name all-customers
   private-vlan primary
   private-vlan assoc 600,601

int Te1/1
   switchport mode trunk
   switchport trunk allowed vlan 600,601

int Vl60
   ip address ...
   private-vlan mapping ... 600,601
   ip local-proxy-arp


Cheers,
Phil
