Daniel A centralised NAS for multiple hotspots implies that you are not going to NAT each hotspot, but rather that you will route a subnet to each. If that is the case I think a combination of a centralised coova, plus a DHCP relay agent on each access point should work. If it doesn't work out of the box (I havent tested coova in that config) then I am sure it would be possible with pretty minor patches. Why don't you re-ask the question on the coova list (which I am also on). I am sure David will be able to help :-) Cheers -- Peter Nixon http://peternixon.net/ - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
