I know it isn't an unsolved problem. That's my point. I have the software to run on a local area network and now I just want to explore the right ways to actually set up our own captive portals on those networks.

Consider a building or cruise ship with an existing network. It's a much harder sell to say "replace all your routers" or "flush all your routers and install our firmware" than to say "use your existing router and just set up our DNS server on a computer".

What networks have you seen that have more than one router and use consumer routers? Even medium sized networks often have only one router and multiple switches. You can get a router that can handle a captive portal and push a million packets per second for around $100. How little are you going to charge for your solution that it's going to be cheaper than that?
