Public and private VLAN

Hi
I know that is not the normal configuration for Vlan topics ,also for the ip subnetting and router functions but sometimes I have to deal with situations of configuracion out of the ordinary finding a solution getting to the limit the features of the devices)
So I'm going with this one
I'm working in the multicompany enviroment and there are some conditions
-Each enterprise is different from the other one (there are 3 companies A-Router A, B- Router B and C- Router C located in two buildings )
-All the companies will share the same internet bandwith (same ISP)
-Each enterprise has the own range of IP-Public (I mean each company has a range of IP -public to manage.)
Having this in mind I got two Omniswitch 6400 (one in each building- the are connected ) and I want to know if I'm right ,or do I have to change something or I'm fully wrong with this one)

I attach a Draft with My idea is
1- to create a Public Vlan 1 containing all the ip-publics and from there distribute to other companies (companies A and B , C in the other switch(building))
2-The company A (where the Router A is) will be a private Vlan 2 ( here they are private IP)
3-This company A has a branch in the other switch that will be Vlan 3 ( here they are private IP)

For the companies B and C I think there are not any problem because they have the own routers and they are not affected for any Vlan segmentation(it's a clean layer 2 switching)
For the companie A -the router A (here the big deal) :
Will be posible to the users in the VLan 2 and 3 to go to internet take the Router A ( the users will have the default gateway the router A and also a Rip virtual interface will be enable in the 6400 to allow the users in the Vlan 3 to take the router)
Will be possible to have ping between Vlan 2 and 3 (vreating Rip interfaces)

Is it possible to implement ,some special characteristics to take into account,
Thanks

hello

I see on your design external routers, you can use routing on 6400

If you enforce all ip interface on R-A,
come from R-B via layer2 only to R-A

it will work.

R-A have all info how to route (because route are local here)

Make a static route to go to your ISP and it will work.

You will have to play with ACL to prevent customer A to customer C etc.
I think you will need to have a interco vlan between isp and r-a (best practice). and then have vlan 10 11 12 with on each public ip for your respective customer.

Hello Thanks for your answer with you I've confirmed what I was thinking
just one detail and it's about routing posibilities of the 6400
The 6400 could route between two Ip wit the range 200.113.193.78/28 and 10.51.1.4 /24 ??
As i always have seen routing with the subnetting schema
Thanks

yes you can route between all subnets types.
