Hi Suresh,
                           VLANA(10.x.x.x)         VLANB(20.x.x.x)

RTR-------------------------------sw------------------------------HOST.

All the queries received on VLANA will be forwared to VLANB. When mcast data
is received on vlanA those will also be forwarded on vlanB after some header
rewrite. Please let me know if this answers your question.
Thanks,
Indranil
