It sounds like wisp nirvana! Do you mind me asking what billing system you
are using, and are you trying to integrate the same? Can Butch Evans write a
integration script for this?

Well. We kinda do this now. When a customer get to far out. We manually add
a rule to the router at the tower site he is connected to that redirects all
his port 80 traffic to a webpage that says basically, "You didn't pay you
bill for a long time and you need to contact us and make a payment to before
your web surfing will be available again." Email still works, etc...

We will still do that. But what I am trying to accomplish is to have my
billing system log into the client as soon as is hits 31+ in the billing
system and set a rule on the router board that will now occasionally
interrupt the clients web browsing by redirecting them to a page letting
them know they are now 31+ past due and offer them the chance to pay now. If
they chose to not pay now, they can just continue with what they were doing.
This way they are always in the "know" that they are behind and are
presented with a way to cure that immediately. Again since the client is not
way behind I just want the surfing to be redirect occasionally.

Next step would be after this is gone on and they hit 40 days the next
script would be ran where it redirects all there web traffic indefinitely to
the pay your bill page until paid.

I hope that explains it better.

Thanks,
John

Why not just a redirect of all port 80 traffic on that ip at 60 days, to the
'Gracious Offer' page,  "If you call in the next seven days there will be no
reup fees, please see your e-mail!", Or maybe just redirect them to a Web
Mail Portal sign in page...  then 7-14 days later it ALL gets turned off
including cancellation fees, if any.

Yepp bit expected. Because a web page consists of multiple images most of
the time and if you use every nth you never know if that rule will then hit
a icon, text page or picture file that is retrieved. 

You could setup something that uses the hotspot service and the
advertisement banners. Or I created a solution with Gatespot that when the
user login to the hotspot will redirect them to a messaging system that will
display any messages to the user if there are any and if there isn't then
the user will get their original requested webpage just like normal.

What I am attempting to do is setup a script to put on the client
routerboard when there account becomes 30+ days behind. This script will
occasionally redirect the clients web browser to a notice page that lets
them know there account is past due and offer a payment page. If they
refresh they should be able to continue browsing. This is intended to be
multipurpose, informative to the user in case they forgot to pay, offer a
quick way to get caught up and be a tad annoying until paid.

I tried this experiment on my home connection:

0 X chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=1.2.3.4 to-ports=80 
     protocol=tcp src-address=0.0.0.0/0 dst-address=!1.2.3.4 dst-port=80 
     nth=5,1

Really did not work as planned. Occasionally I would get the page at the
1.2.3.4 server but most of the time I would get broken links and partially
displayed pages?
