Hi Islepilot,
Welcome to the community! :)
I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support: "Broadcast packets don’t pass to other VLANs because each VLAN is an independent broadcast domain. Can the DEVICE send the traffic multicast? -- this might be a way around it. Otherwise, if you can get it working using the FVX538, then that might be the best you can get."

Netgear, Justin (@dingjs1421), came back to me and told me they have a solution for this issue..... Netgear did an adjustment to my virusscan-software via "secure diagnostic modus" and I have asked what they did:
the service:freshclam is used to download AV pattern db , after succeeded to download it tries to load all db files
(several houndreds MB) into memory to test. Due to limited memory resources on ReadyNAS RN21x,
it might run into the issue: can't allocate enough memory to test DB.
So we just disable the option: TestDatabases for freshclam. Thanks Justin
So I looked what was changed and found out it was file freshclam.conv ; file is located in etc/clamav;
This is my freshclam now:
DatabaseOwner root
LogSyslog true
LogFacility LOG_LOCAL6
Debug false
MaxAttempts 5
DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav
DNSDatabaseInfo current.cvd.clamav.net
ConnectTimeout 120
ReceiveTimeout 120
TestDatabases false
ScriptedUpdates true
CompressLocalDatabase false
Bytecode true
NotifyClamd /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
OnErrorExecute /usr/bin/clamav_event -s 1
OnUpdateExecute /usr/bin/clamav_event -s 0
Checks 2
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.cn.clamav.net
DatabaseMirror db.tw.clamav.net
The first normal update did work, will keep checking the next couple of days...

The red wasn't showing up (though it did when I imported it to reply), so I made the change bold so others would notice it, which I hope will work.
