Multiple VLAN with same IP subnet

Question

Hi, I am new to VLAN and wanted to know if I could configure two VLAN on my Dell 5324 to use the same IP subnet?   VLAN 1 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.250 VLAN 2 192.168.1.251 through 192.168.1.254   Our firewall is connected to port 1 which would be set as a member of VLAN 1 and 2. Our guest wireless access point is connected to port 2 which would be set as a member of VLAN 2.   Ultimately I would like to keep the guest wireless traffic off our production network while providing the guest users with Internet access.  If possible I do not wish to configure our firewall to support a second IP subnet.

What kind of firewall do you have?

We are using two Cisco PIX 515E with unrestricted licenses and failover enabled.  The firewalls are set to an active/passive failover.

relax, Been so long since I used PIX, I could not give you a good answer, what i did was created a alias subnet for the inside lan segment, and had two different segments. Good luck
