Have you looked into using VLANs?


From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_network, a few paragraphs down,

"VLANs (Virtual LANs) are logical LAN's (Local Area Networks), based on physical LAN's. A VLAN can be created by partitioning a physical LAN into multiple logical LAN's (subnets) using a VLAN ID. Alternatively, several physical LAN's can function as a single logical LAN. The partitioned network can be on a single router, or multiple VLAN's can be on multiple routers just as multiple physical LAN's would be. A VLAN can be on a VPN."


Your question sounds similar to "partitioning a physical LAN into multiple

logical LAN's (subnets) using a VLAN ID."


Can someone, who has used VLANs recently,

comment if this approach will do what the OP wants,

and help with the configuration on Linux if the OP wants to try it?


Last time I used VLANs was the late 1990's...on a SOHO (FlowPoint) router.

I'm afraid I'm a bit rusty and would have to test any "help" I might offer.
