The ultimate goal is to integrate this into PacketFence, an open source NAC solution to which I contribute (https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence <https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence>). So the code would end up on github for anyone to reuse. I think you just gave me what I needed, which is the reassurance that I am not wasting my time trying to do the impossible.
