I assume that a gazillion different SSID's (one for each room) is off
the table? I'm also making the assumption that your goal with the
Apple TV's is to use them for wireless video presentations from iPads
or other IOS devices.
mDNS and Bonjour are great protocols for a home network, but obviously
don't scale to enterprise deployments out of the box. I wonder if you
could geofence unicast DNS based on AP, and then place the appropriate
Bonjour records into DNS statically? Utilize the concepts of Google's
8.8.8.8 DNS anycast system on your local network?
Instead of Apple TV's, have you looked at AirServer? The price is
cheaper if you already have a PC hooked up to the projector/TV, and
it may open up an option to set up a Bluetooth IP network so that
the projector traffic can go that path but the rest of the IP
packets from the client(s) go via wifi. As the people building OBD-II
automobile diagnostic dongles discovered, IOS devices can't associate
to more than one SSID at the same time (and it won't use both a cellular
link and wifi at the same time), so you need to use Bluetooth if you
want to talk to a local device and still have Internet access. The
$64,000 question is whether IOS supports a Bluetooth IP network, and
if it also has the same restrictions?????
