Hello Chris,

I committed changes for supporting vlan.
https://code.google.com/p/softflowd/source/detail?r=80aac3b2fec35c7c286d83c76ba8b9024bdae9df

Please check out the source code and compile to use vlan enabled softflowd.

If you want to use vlanid on NetFlow v9,
please use configure option "./configure --enable-nf9-vlan" before "make".
And please use "softflowd -T vlan" (tracking level:vlan) option when you 
use softflowd.

If you want to use vlanid on IPFIX,
Just use "softflowd -T vlan". (It doesn't need "./configure 
--enable-nf9-vlan".)

regards,
Hitoshi
