it should at least be possible..
eg, the linux router in question also runs an IDS to monitor traffic.
so even if windows /could/ follow redirects to other subnets i still
would want the linux box to route the traffic.. (rather than going
direct through the switch and never being seen by the linux IDS).
anyway..
(and yeah, i know it is not secure, just presume i have the switch
configured to lock certain ports to certain subnets).
