Not sure what you mean by “routed subnet”.

I’ve got a router hooked up to it and everything on my internal network(s) is behind that router, so I’m using it with routed subnets by my definition of that term. If you have some specific way of setting up your services that’s different from that, you’d need to be specific before I could usefully comment.
