I don't know exactly where the post is, I saw it in here a few days ago, but it was my understanding that the SB radios (AirBridges) will forward up to 64 MAC addresses. Not sure about the AirPointPro in client mode. I would assume a similar functionality.
With the older firmware I've tested this in the workshop with two Linksys Cable/DSL routers using PPPoE to log in and the AB was able to allow both units to login and gain access to the net.
