Roger that.  So far, we're not seeing issues with 1800 s as the lease time. 
    Besides DHCP for the WiFi pool (and several land-line networks) the 
only other thing the system does is DNS slavery and time so it's not too 
terribly busy.

And if Apple used a specific OUI range for iPhones/iPod Touches, we would 
happily do that (how does that "deny" keyword work again??? :-). 
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.  If anyone knows

Thanks.
