The town itself isn't that robust, just a little spread out, so line of sight shouldn't be a problem.


On another note, I got an idea to create a local "website" on the network, where people could donate money (via paypal) to the project. It would be great if I could get the APs to automatically foward you to this site when you logged on to the network.
I've heard of different methods in doing this (m0n0wall, sveasoft firmware, etc), but will this interfere/cause problems with consoles connecting to the internet via a wireless bridge?

Lastly, if I had to have this whole network operate off of one 1.5mbps broadband connection, is there some sort of Website Caching System that could conserve bandwidth by caching frequently requested website data?
