That's a fun one.so... aside from the every 3 months bitching on this list (and some on v6ops maybe) about these sorts of things, what's happening to tell/educate/warn/notice the hotspot-vendors that this sort of practice (along with 'everything is at 1.1.1.1!') is just a bad plan? How can users, even more advanced users, tell a hotspot vendor in a meaningful way that their 'solution' is broken?
It seems like a good step in the right direction would be to determine an approach that makes sense and to document it. Such an approach which made minimal exotic demands of client or hotspot (or back-end) systems might seem attractive to hotspot operators if it seemed likely to minimise support costs, or reduce development costs through re-use of free software components, or something. Does such an approach exist? Is it documented? Joe
