I'm doing that too. Though I can't test the full set up right now as I 
can't safely change the router firmware until I get home.

I mostly wanted to make sure I had a correct mental model for how this 
worked. It seemed like it had to be that way.

For this one, I was a bit worried that it might work sometimes, but have 
problems later as I couldn't find an explicit answer in the documentation 
(I might have missed it.) saying it worked like normal network routing. The 
examples I saw were all disjoint networks.

Thank you for the clarifications.
