Hi Robert,
I believe that the gateway can always be a machine or router that is
separate from the LTSP server.
Assuming that you are running thin clients, meaning that all of the thin
clients _are_ the server, they will all have the same IP when we are
talking about connecting to the open Internet from an LTSP terminal. In
fact, thin clients don't even use NAT as you probably realize, they don't
need to route anywhere except to the LTSP server.
You can configure the existing LTSP DHCP server to handout IP addresses and
a unique gateway to non-PXE clients. On this gateway you would run
a hotspot product such as ChiliSpot. The gateway could very well be run on
your extra eth2 or whatever.
You would also have the option of assigning a different subnet for your
non-PXE clients, you may want to do this for organization and security.
Regards,
