Bonjour forwarding for Google Chromecast

Hello,

 

We have equipped our classrooms with a Chromecast but are experiencing a lot of problems when discovering the Chromecast for casting.

 

- Laptop's and computers are on a SSID "A" with VLAN "20.

- Chromecast are on a SSID "B" with VLAN "200"

 

Firewall rule:

Forwarding on SSID 1:

Most of the time, the Chromecasts are not visible to devices connected on SSID "A".

Or often on computer 1 but not on computer 2 that are connected on same SSID and same AP.

Once the laptop/PC is connected with the same SSID as the Chromecast, there is never a problem. This must have to do with the Bonjour forwarding.

Sometimes I can even cast from a PC while when I scan on that PC with a tool I can't find the Bonjour service.

Does anyone have experience with this and any actions that can be taken to make this stable? A solution would be to put the Chromecast in the same VLAN but this is exactly what we want to avoid.
