A method that may include: Receiving, by a network appliance, a request, from a source host, to resolve a network layer address of a target host into a link layer address of the target host. The source host belongs to a source secondary VLAN, the target host belongs to a target secondary VLAN and both source and secondary VLANs are coupled to a primary VLAN that is coupled to a primary VLAN gateway. Determining whether to facilitate indirect communication between the target and source hosts. If so (YES) then generating, by the network appliance, a response that resolves the network layer address of the target host to a link layer address of the primary VLAN gateway; and sending the response to at least the source host. |
