UPnP multicast routing possible?

Hi folks,

I'm running an ASG 8.202 with 5 NICs. 2 for WAN connections, one for LAN,
one for Extranet(WLAN) and one for DMZ.

In the Extranet (192.168.2.0/24) there is a UPnP Device (TV) located which is trying to find a media server using UPnP. Therefore it is sending broadcast to (tcpdump output):

22:00:16.733230 IP 192.168.2.244.50051 > 239.255.255.250.1900: UDP, length 357

In DMZ (192.168.3.0/24) the media server is running an sending broadcasts to:

22:01:39.070371 IP 192.168.3.245.1900 > 239.255.255.250.1900: UDP, length 153

How do I have to configure the ASG so this broadcasts are able to move from 192.168.2.0/24 to 192.168.3.0/24 ?

Suggestions are very welcome!

keep in mind though UPNP has not place in an Enterprise because upnp allows network devices to punch holes in the firewall without admin knowledge. The aforementioned thread is a workaround but I don't see Astaro every incorporating such technology into it's product.

FWIW, I never did get an answer as to WHY it doesn't work.
