I'm not sure I quite understand what you want to do, but I think you need to 
use ebtables, in particular the 'broute' table, to tell Linux how you want 
tagged packets to behave. One thing I was never able to do was to tell Linux to 
place a copy of the tagged packet on one bridge so that I could have a trunk to 
a DomU whilst simultaneously l2 routing packets to their correct interfaces.
