RE: Multiple gateways, one login?

Drew,

You can try to share the same data base, for example if you choose LDAP for 
authoriting wireless users in the network, just loggin in whavever box nocat 
gateway will check in the Ldap remotly and the user can connect to internet, 
is the same the location of the access point cause Ldap is easy to replicate 
and buckup and very good data base when you don´t have to write or delete a 
lot of data, but read.

I hope that is a bit of help,

Jonathan D.
