[THIN] Re: How to set Windows Terminal Server to use client MAC address

Would it not be enough to use the successful termserv login in place of the
gateway login? Then just let the terminal servers talk freely across the
gateway. You could certainly script something up to have the client send its
mac across a different channel, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary
work.
