I agree. They kept telling me it was normal for traffic from the main LAN to go to the VLAN. I guess they never heard that VLANs are supposed to be virtually separate LANs. I finally talked to a 2nd level guy who agreed there was a problem, but there was no fix forthcoming.
Whilst we are sharing anecdotes - way offtopic of course - when my house/lab was still on ADSL with a Zyxel modem, sometime before 2009, I had my Zyxel ADSL modem set up to log errors to the usual syslog port 514. Otherwise an excellent modem, but the logging didn't work. I opened a ticket with our local supplier and one with Zyxel. Nothing much happened and it being somewhat exotic, I didn't expect much either.
Then I got a call from my local supplier (Studerus), some young intern who had spotted something interesting and in fact confirmed the issue. He had pursued it with Zyxel corporate and even managed to get a new firmware built. I was very impressed.
That prompted me to look at Zyxel and the NBG7510 looks like it might fit the bill. (though the name is a bit worrying - NoBl**dyGood 7510 ??)
