[CentOS] VLAN tagging problems

We are using Centos behind an F5 Bigip load balancer.
The linux box is using bonding and tagged VLAN's

Everything works fine except that when traffic is forwarded from the BigIP 
to the linux box on the VLAN where the web server is running the linux box 
returns the traffic on the wrong VLAN, It returns traffic on the lowest 
ordered VLAN.

ie. here is a tcpdump on my load balancer showing traffic being sent on 
VLAN 911 to the linux box, but the linux box returns traffic on VLAN 902.
The linux box is returning traffic on the same VLAN as its configured 
default gateway. If I change the default gateway to be on the VLAN 911 
then everytyhing works.

Any ideas ?
