It definitely should. I was just wondering if anyone knew for certain
before I get to it. :-)

Just thoughts...
The hotspot acts as an ARP proxy. It will catch anything and everything it
can. If a user does static ARP the hotspot is bypassed.
As a user asks for DHCP it will get it and then try to talk to the
DNS/gateway upon requesting a website. As long as the hotspot catches the
ARP requests it will also catch the other traffic, obviously, so as long as
hotspot doesn't mind losing the NAT role you should be all right.
Do a lab, should be pretty easy to show it works or doesn't work in a few
minutes.

Does anyone know if you can run hotspot successfully on a transparent
bridge? The idea would be to provide hotspot functionality, but on
pass-through ports, in case anything goes wrong on the device to allow
traffic to continue un-authed. I'm thinking something like this (on an
RB1100AH):
bridge1 -> ether11 + hotspot1
hotspot1 -> ether12
So, hotspot will catch the traffic until authenticated (even if the gateway
is running on a different device?) then just pass it through as expected? Or
am I going to need to do something crafty with an unroutable network for the
hotspotting, then hand out a different IP after auth?
