Ok. DHCP relay would work, however a few questions with that setup:
1) Would I be able to limit to a certain number of address per site (like 50)?

Thanks.
What about IP session handling, do I need to do that big subnet, or are the sets of subnets added in that config page?
Also, are there any drawbacks to IP session handling vs MAC? |

No I mean having virtual interfaces on the actual server running firstspot that are passing out the IPs via DHCP. The routers will be between the firstspot and the APs, but I would use DHCP relay to p ... |
