PPPoE over vlan?

We have a switch setup with a VDSL modem connected to a port with a vlan of 50. The next port along is a trunk port which allows vlan50 (WAN) & vlan100 (LAN) which terminates on an esxi server running pfSense.
So basically our WAN & LAN are on the same cable segregated by the vlans specified.
I thought I would give sophos a go but can't see anyway to get the WAN connection which requires a PPPoE login to use a vlan.
It looks to us that you require 2 physical interfaces rather than 1 physical with 2 virtual interfaces as we can't see a way to get PPPoE working over a vlan.

Can anybody confirm this?

Hi

In this case. Why not use an appliance?

You could get silly and say footprint and in some cases that may be.
But the real beauty in doing it this way is that you can use vcentre to move the UTM gateway from one server to another without a millisecond of downtime under load.
There's also less mess as all the WAN's go into a 1u switch and if you do saturate the 1g link, it can easily be aggregated.
