Eh? VLANS and Subnets are two different things, one is layer 2, the other layer 3. A subnet can run over multipe VLANS, and a VLAN can conain mutiple subnets. They don't have to correlate with each other at all.

Bennylaball, what your trying to achieve is straightforward(ish), your linux box becomes a router, each network card will belong to a different (sub)network, you then the rules about what protocols to pass between each interface.
