Ken,

If you do a nslookup for a random website, say www.cnn.com, or something
like that from a machine that is as yet unauthenticated, what happens?

Does it resolve correctly?  If it does, then the user should be
redirected. 

Also, is there an http proxy by any chance?

Subject: weblogin redirect question

I am having a little problem that i was hoping the users group could
help me with so i don't have to spend a lot of timing running it down.

When users are on the unauthenticated vlan and try to use the web they
get redirected to the login page (well are suppose to).  I am having an
issue where it does not redirect all the time.  It does redirect
everytime if an ip address is entered (199.x.x.x for example) but if
they enter a dns name (coke.com for ex.) it will not redirect them.

The only time it seems to redirect on a dns entry is if users type in
our main college page (www.marietta.edu).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
