Hmmm. Possibly layer 7 switching which lets you route based on rules you set up. I don't know all the ins and outs of layer 7 switching yet so I don't know if that is what they would be doing for sure. -Shawn ----- Shawn R.

They had thier internet serviced by Cisco, in each room. a small cisco router (this was at the Fairmont, I forgot what model it was, but the Hilton just provided cat5 cable) but once connected to it, you are automatically connected to a webpage (this is the hotel's service aggrement and internet access choices). You have a choice to either be behind a firewall with a private ip or a public ip with no firewall protection. I thought this was a good idea to provide such a service and delegate the two types of configurations to the guest and contractors with no administration needed but I don't quite understand how this can be done?
