AFAIK, it is not possible atm, you will have to change all your VLAN :(

A few ISP (myself included and at least one IX) have asked for this feature but 
it would seems that it can/will not be implemented with the current ASIC. I 
think the  feature is "under consideration" at Foundry (if someone knows better 
please stand up).
