Apple Bonjour Forwarding

Dardan Selimi

Hey folks,

I am trying to forward Apple Bonjour request from one VLAN to another VLAN.

The scenario is the following:

VLAN 10: Airplay devices (broadcasting) Wired clients

VLAN 20: client devices (MACOS) WiFi clients

The goal is to have clients VLAN 20 discovering Bonjour devices from VLAN 10.

I've enabled Multicast Routing and added the needed routes. However, it is not working. 

Any ideas what I might be missing?

Is there any documents relating this?

Thanks,

Regards.

    As far as I know, you can't do this in SFOS. I considered the multicast routing, but I think it's actually broadcasts and broadcasts simply don't get routed.

    I added a suggestion in their suggestion forum about supporting it. This would involve the Sophos DNS service listening to Bonjour notifications and noting what's advertised and then answering Bonjour queries. In its more in-depth Bonjour documentation, Apple mentions that Bonjour can be totally integrated into DNS and that it need not operate solely in the home-network-like mode of broadcasted queries for services.

    There is an open source proxy out there for Linux -- I forget the name -- so you could run your own proxy on your own box that has multiple ports, but it would be more convenient if it occurred in SFOS. This is still viewed as more of a home-use kind of thing by many, since you can't explicitly control things like IPs and hence don't have as much control over traffic, so I'm not holding my breath. (And I am a home user, so...)
