FYI:

I asked the people I know at Juniper the same question and they also
told me to use virtual-switch. But this only works with interface-type
trunk, and I need single units because 1 physical interface has
multiple VLANs which must be added to different VPLS instances or
other services on a per-unit basis.

instance-type virtual-switch;
##
## Warning: Only interface with 'interface-mode' is allowed in a virtual-switch
##

The other option was to use one VPLS instance per VLAN which seems to
be the only option available to us.

Regards

Sebastian
