Two different VLANs on the same port

Disclaimer: Stupid questions may follow. What I want to do is to set up a backbone LAN and a mangement LAN. I'm therefore trying to find out if it's possible for me to set up my D-Link 3526 so that my connected hosts can be on two different VLANs at the same time. On the hosts I'm thinking that the adapter may be set up with for instance: VLAN 1 (Backbone): Mask: 255.255.255.0. Ip-range

10.0.0.1 - .254 and VLAN 2 (Mngmt): Mask: 255.255.255.0. IP-range 10.0.1.0 - .254.

Does this sound feasible? I'm a bit scared of stuffing this up since the Backbone LAN is already in production (though not set up with a VLAN). If anyone has a different way to set up the two LANs, then any information is much appreciated!

Thanks, H=E5vard
