Shield and redirect requests to certain networks or address

[bhhanson]

Is there a way to specify a set of IP addresses or ranges of addresses (networks) that are 'off limits' to the firstspot users?

We have protected them through router policy and if a firstspot client tries to go to these addresses they will timeout on the request as there will be no response.

It would be nice, however, to redirect these requests to another IP to be handled so they see something other than an eventual timeout on the request. Of course I'm speaking more of browser requests even though they may not all be port 80.

I'm going to try adding them to the network table and specify the gateway as the IP of the box to 'intercept' these requests. But I'd also like to redirect them to a specific port.. perhaps a specific URL. Thinking out loud here.

Thanks for any insights or consideration of this type of capability.
