Hello Otto,
I know the tadpole has this feature.
So, are all OEM sunray partners allowed to get this kind of features
into there hardware?
If needed we can become a OEM partner of Sun.
On what time scale you think this feature will be generally available?
"Who is allowed to modify these settings?"
Depends on how you deploy Sunrays.
1. As an ISP I will be interested to "brand" my Sunray so it will be
only working with my sunray servers.
Nobody else can change the settings.
2. As a traveling user I will be interested in publicly available kiosk
sunrays were I can put in my smartcard with my ISP's sunray settings on
it and press "load sunray settings form smartcard". Then I will be
connected with my own session running on my ISP's sunray server.
An alternative will be to press "shift props" and just fill out the
ISP's sunray server sunray-server.isp.com.
So I think a flexible system should be implemented which can serv
atleast both wishes.

I would like to have a mobile sunray set for demo purposes.
Does anybody know of an option to "burn" a sunray server or
tftpserver ip address or hostname into the sunray firmware on a DTU?
There's some experimental Sun Ray firmware that does this but it's
not generally available. It won't be released until we have good
answers for all of the interesting questions that this kind of
feature raises, like "who is allowed to modify these settings?".
Some Sun Ray customers take questions like that very seriously.
Tadpole sells a couple of laptop-format Sun Ray derivatives
called Comets, <http://www.tadpolecomputer.com/html/products/mobile/>.
I think the Comet firmware allows you to type in IP addresses
for the unit and its Sun Ray server.
