Nomadix produce the USG and AG series of network service engines which do
what you describe.

Colubris Networks also produce the CN3500 (or at least they did - i believe
it is an MGW3500/MGW3200 now?) which is a Linux-based solution which does
something very similar but with many more functions than the Nomadix NSE's.
I'm sure there are others as well which are no doubt cheaper than Cisco :)

It's a nice idea to have, but it can cause more problems than it is worth in
my experience with Nomadix. It doesn't always seem to function 'just quite
right'.

Subject: [m0n0wall] Dynamic captive portail 

I have heard that it exists somes professionnals products that are able to
manage on a captive portail With not only dhcp but any hosts without any
modification of the tcp configuration.

This solutions are able to detect all the broadcast on the lan and create a
dynamic virtual gateway to capture them on the portail.

They speek of the bbsm of cisco ?

What do you think of this solution (that I found very cool ) and will
monowall get this idea ?
