Ha this is me right now. I’ve got the VLAN segmentation down, but now getting casting and airplay working across VLANs with mDNS has me a bit stumped. Definitely a bit tricker than I anticipated, I thought I’d just need to write firewall rules.

For me everything is named after things from Dune :)




mdns is a right pain as it uses the range for local subnet only, and has a TTL of 1, so you can't just pim route it round your network like normal multicast. You need a device which will reflect messages between all the different vlans -- avahi-daemon is popular
