Synology is supposed to support 802.1q vlan tagging but I found out that the implementation is somewhat limited and I had to come up with a workaround. I was able to gracefully solve the problem and I figured I would share the information with others. I didn't invent either solution presented in this article. I pieced it together by putting in a few hours of research.
I found a lot of inspiration from the Synology forums: http://forum.synology.com/enu/
