Configuring VLANs with Open vSwitch

I'm trying to configure OVS (not working with Linux VLANs either) VLANs that are accessible across my Proxmox cluster.

Searching around for Proxmox and VLANs I find several different examples on how to do them. Most show setting up bonding and I plan on doing that also, but I've been waiting on our new L3 switch. So in the mean time, I've just setup a cross over cable on the second nic to practice getting this setup, but while I can get the virtual switch configured on eth1 and VMs connected to that virtual switch can communicate with each other, it does not communicate with the other Proxmox server which has the same VLAN configuration.

My setup is I have vmbr1 configured as a bridge and it has both vlan20 and eth1 as bridged ports. I've configured this several different ways based on example configurations I've found online. None of them seem to pass packets over the nic to the other server. The cross over cable does work as if I only assign a network IP to eth1 on both servers, they function fine.

I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong that it does not forward packets. :/
