Hi Brian -
I just saw a few minutes ago. And that's good news. So far so good.
We use User Class this way: User Classes can have Options associated
with them. Assuming I were a user and I get a User Class assignment
called Allow, then the Allow options would include a correct subnet
mask, the right default gateway, the right DNS settings, etc. If the
User Class is Deny, then give a 32-bit mask, remove the default gateway,
change the DNS,etc. It's these User Class options, and how they are
set, that I wonder about.
Thanks
Reid
