Not hyping it down, but its actual use as a data vlan is very niche (rare). yes and no ... in more complex setups - sure. segregation is a plus and in that case, vlan1 should not be used. okay otherwise the use of vlan1 also as a normal data vlan is no problem at all after all. if only for the sake...

remember the SRC IP you want to use here has to be a local ip address on the router which can reach the DNS upstream (routing-wise) for the srcNAT to work correctly

spippan

you might need to use a srcnat rule
