Hello guys
The greatest problem we have with the installation in Fumaça, Brazil, is
that the internet connection is down very often. Ideally, I'd like the
users to be redirected to the local server when this happens - not only so
that they can use the local applications but also to encourage them to call
the company that provides the link and make a complaint. And nodogsplash
won't work when the gateway is down.
So digging an old post from Gui, I made a small script that is added to the
crontab and checks every minute is the network is down. In that case it
adds a redirect to the dnsmask config file, which is removed when the
connection comes back.
It seems to be working in my test network at home. Next thing I'll try with
nodogsplash and see it won't break anything. But since my libremesh
knowledge is very limited, I'd appreciate if you evaluate if there's any
problem with this approach.
Thanks!
Bruno
