I am not so sure about this because AFAIK cyberoam client only uses your 
MAC to authenticate. The server checks the MAC / IP combo with its 
records and enables routing for _only_ your IP and not MAC / IP pair. 
Since if it were enabling routing on the basis of MAC / IP pair then I 
wouldn't be able to use my connection as my MAC is totally different 
from what my ISP has bound my connection with. And I don't spoof my 
MAC. linc-daemon sends the expected mac while cyberoam client actually 
finds out the MAC through API calls.
