My follow up to this post did not go through last night because of my
list settings.  Posting it here, apologies if I broke the list thread.

That's correct, it is the gateway for the network segment where you
provide visitor based access.  A dhcp server is actually required with
the current version, but may be optional in future versions.  I've
been using the dnsmasq dhcp server for SilverSplash.  I assume you
meant a dhcp server instead of the client daemon?
