Hi Alf
Thanks again, but no, it won't work as the scale of this project is too 
large.

That would have worked if:
1. I had access to the laptops
2. there were ony a few tens of customers, not thousands.
3. the clients ran Linux on their laptops

The device has to provide the DNS for the micro network that it creates.
