It only works on an internet basis as far as I am aware but you may be able to allocate bandwidth to it so it doesn't go past your allocation. Experiment and let us know but as you say probably your best bet is a managed switch.

I alreay have one swith on the XR500 becuase the XR500 doesn't have enough ports so I will simply replace it with another one that has more and re-wire everything a bit! :D
Sounds like a good plan!
