Not an expert myself and never work with it consistent enough to instantly know what's wrong.
Recently we setup a new VM of Gentoo in an attempt to create a simple bridge between our two networks.
Currently we are just using a simple iptables chain to forward traffic destined for the other network across the interfaces.
This seems to work pretty well.
The next challenge is to see if we can route multicast traffic, in particular upnp DLNA.
However this doesn't appear to be working.
Anyone know of a good method to accomplish this?
Background setup:
Full network running behind a Shaw[ISP1] Router on a 192.168.1.0/24 network.
Full network running behind a Telus[ISP2] Router on a 192.168.5.0/24 network.
VM ESXi Server running with dual NICs, one on each network.

I'm a heavy *nix user and I have no idea how to solve what you want. Your best bet would be to post on a more specialist forum.
Having said that, although I have a lot of *nix experience, I don't use IpTables much so that may simply be me being ignorant.
I tend to use FreeBSD for servers and use either OpenBSD's PacketFilter or IPFireWall

Take a look at the network configuration of your virtual machine. Most the times will be set to NAT. This configuration will work okay most of the time but Some times you have to changed. I manly use the Bridge Adapter option (Virtual Box) this will get you a straight connection
good luck
