Yes
Firewalla Gold has a built-in mDNS reflector, which forwards discovery messages across different segments; This will enable you to use AirPlay or Chromecast across different segments and still keeping your network secure.
If you are using a managed switch to segment your LAN/VLANs, you may need to do some additional configurations:
- Disable IGMP Snooping
- Disable MLD Snooping

Thank you for that post, and for the Clue!
I also had to disable 'IGMP Snooping' on my Unifi controller to get my wife's PC to talk to her Kodak Verite printer. Thanks to Wireshark for telling me what was going on.
I also disabled 'Block LAN to WLAN Multicast and Broadcast Data' as well.
Doing that also fixed our Sonos devices, and also fixed air print. All of that had stopped working when I replaced our Google WiFi with Unifi access ports.
Thank you again for the Clue!

Curious, was the "Block LAN to WLAN multicast" default on or added by you?
I don't remember anymore
This setup is working for me with Unifi Switches and AP's to the FWG in router mode. I can Airplay from my Main Lan to the Sonos Speakers on my IoT Vlan. But I can not get the Sonos iOS or Win10 app to work outside of the IoT Vlan. Anyone know if this is an issue with SSDP not being able to traverse networks without some sort of firewall rule?
And to answer the Q above for me the "Block Lan to WLAN multicast" was unchecked by default on my unifi controller.
