AirPlay through ASA

Have a customer that has two VLANs (Layer3 on ASA for each VLAN).  I need to get AirPlay through the firewall.  The customer has Guest WiFi on one VLAN and the AV equipment (including Apple TVs) are on the second VLAN.  I found a doc with some TCP and UDP ports, but not really sure if the iPhone/iPad/OS X devices are going to see the AirPlay Apple TV advertising itself.  

I have attached the screenshot from the Doc.  

If anyone has done this, guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The challenge is to get Multicast DNS and Bonjour through the firewall as these protocols are designed to function only in small flat network. Multicast groups in use are  224.0.0.251 and 239.255.255.250.

Here is a deployment guide for Bonjour over WLAN fwith a lot of technical details:

I never had a chance trying it out, but good luck!

PS: this definitely require the ASA to handle multicast. Please refer to the configuration guides.
