I was working on bridging all the macs known on a port
(ie when you got a hub, you 'd like all you're computers to be bridged
 when you ask for vlanchanging).

There is no problem to know all the macs (see telnet/info)
BUT we need the IPs.

4 solutions:

1- The client sends the IP list
2- We make a reverse ARP
3- We ask to the VLANbridge
4- We ask to Webbase

These are the only 4 solutions I've seen. Do you have another one ?

The problems are:
1- What about the security (I can ask for bridging anyone ...) ?
2- What if the macs are not in the same VLAN as VLANserver ?

What do you think of that ?
