Hi,

We had a similar issue a while back while moving providers.

With EX4200 we did not have any luck.
Also tried VLAN rewriting on an SRX 210: it worked, but it was painfully
slow (we got a few megabits of traffic through the box with high CPU
utilization).

In the end we used two pairs of switches on each location: one switch
connected to the provider with a trunked port and for each vlan a port in
access mode, and the other switch with our vlans in a similar setup, access
on some ports and a trunk on an uplink to our core. this worked without a
hitch. What we basically did is to match access ports from one switch to
access ports on another switch and voila, vlan translation on the cheap :)

HTH,
Eugeniu
