Hmm... it seem you may only specify the next hop a Client has to go for it's Packets. The Problem has to be devided in two Parts: 1.) All http traffic from the Client has to be forwarded to the Proxy. If I could do a simple "if dest_port == 80 then dest_ip = proxy_ip" in a input_filter for my Client this Problem would be gone. BUT unlucky it seem that the currend Filter configuration may only pass or block Packets but NOT MODIFY. :-( 2.) The Proxy must be aware when a Client is newly logged in so when the first request comes it presents it's defaultpage (regardless of the Clients first request). I think this is best done when the Proxy interacts in some way with the Radius-Server. If the Radiusserver has the start-record with the Ip-Adresse (from the Pool) the new Client is assigned and give that information to the Proxy, the Proxy exactly knew when to present the default Page.
