Is it possible to have multiple VLANs in the same subnet, with the same gateway address (TMG)?

I want to avoid having many Subnets (and vNIC's in TMG) just to isolate sets of a few hosts.

IP: 10.0.0.1         (TMG server)       VLAN:1 ~ 3

IP: 10.0.0.11 ~ 20   (Hosts group 1)    VLAN:1

IP: 10.0.0.21 ~ 30   (Hosts group 2)    VLAN:2

IP: 10.0.0.31 ~ 40   (Hosts group 3)    VLAN:3

Note that I don't want them to connect to each other, so ARP/inter-vlan routing (within the subnet) is not required.

The gateway is running in a VM within ESXi 5, I can pass the VLans to the VM using VGT or VLan Range, but I don't know how the OS/TMG should handle them.

Yes, I know running a virtual machine inside of a virtual machine is a bad idea. Yes, I know it will be very slow.

I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, but I'm stuck. I installed VMWare ESXi on a Mac Pro. It's working great! The problem is that you press F12 to eject the disk, and F12 is what you use to shutdown ESX. I can power down, open the case, pull out the CD drive and use a paper clip to force the drawer… >>> More
