It's not a problem with the plugin, this is network protocol related.

As far as i know, the discovery service is based on mdns, like many
other services: airplay, airprint etc.
The idea is to identify the members of a network, without having a fully
configured dns running.
Instead of asking a dns server for the hostnames, all members on the
network are directly adressed.
mdns sends a multicast to the network and is asking for the matching
hostname/ip address.

The service is in RFC defined and only works in a network/subnet, mdns
will not be routed.

If you want to have mdns between different networks/subnet or between
different vlans you need
to use an mdns repeater/reflector with 2 or more network interfaces, one
for every vlan.

There are different solutions like avahi or other repeaters you can
use.

Google for "mdns repeater" will help...
