This really should be a DHCP option which points to the authentification server using ip addresses. This should be return to clients even if they don't request it. Web browers could have a hot-spot button that retrieves this option then connects using the value returned.
Unfortunately, that's not how DHCP works. If you send the client a DHCP option which the client has not requested, you have no idea if the client will use (or for that matter even *understand*) the option. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
