Change web proxy setting easily - 28.Nov.2007 4:25:20 PM

I have 1,200 machines on my K-12 campus and either through group policies under Windows or through Workgroup Manager on the Mac, I can push down proxy settings to web browsers so for machines we control, all works well.

I want to open up a guest side to my wireless network so anybody with a wireless laptop can:
- Come on campus and join our guest wireless network just like a hot spot at an airport or coffee shop
- Launch their web browser and get internet access

The problem is the only way to make this work is to have Windows users check "Automatically detect settings" or Mac users to type in the Auto proxy configuration URL.

I have a captive portal setup so when a guest launches a browser they are taken to a page that I can display anything including a detailed explanation about how to configure the proxy properly to gain access. I am looking for a more elegant solution.

All of my guest access is coming from one VLAN

Any suggestions?

Can you configure the default gateway for your wireless clients to point to the internal interface of your ISA Server?
Or perhaps you configure a "transparent proxy" so that packets destined to tcp port 80 & 443 are routed to the internal interface of your ISA Server.
Or perhaps you could setup some source routing.
