Hi Ahenning,
That is a possibility, it was more to do with keeping the network design simple and reliable. I would imagine the only other way would be to use some sort of PVST config, to either direct traffic to bypass or go through the WanOS box, as the vlans are all tagged on the same ports.
I'm also a little bit wary in that if something was ever done wrong during the configuration a loop could be created and in a remote DC this could be a big problem if the flood of traffic disrupts management. Having one box where you choose the vlans you want to process seems safer in this respect.
