Perhaps you could give us more details as to >exactly what you are trying to do? I've grouped machines in the department in vlans, so they only communicate inside their group. We also have some servers which must be accessible by everyone, so I put them in all vlans. They have the same IP in all vlans. Everything works fine except that broadcasts from the servers don't reach all machines, only those in the eth0 group, that is, the untagged vlan. So I ask if there's a way to make the server broadcast in all vlans.
