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?

Sure its possible since 9.1: Just enable the VDSL checkbox and you can
set the VLAN ID under Advanced, VLAN Tag.

Even multiple VLAN PPPoE interfaces with different tags over the same physical inteface work...

Absolutely correct!!!
Thank´s merlin. There we see that we are never be to old to learn :-)

Yes. It's there. I had v9.0 which doesn't have that feature.
I can also confirm that it works.
