Sounds like a great idea in theory but would require OS support or a
dual-hotspot setup that provided for both options until support was
expected.
Until such time it's simply unworkable.
That and as mentioned in my previous post, the setup we have *just
works* for users who don't have the permissions to change off of a
static IP and use DHCP on their laptops.
