[isf-wifidog] Clarification about multiple gateways

[Marc Delisle]

Thanks Alex,
our situation is that we need to add an address block for our numerous 
clients and due to another constraint, we cannot change the addressing 
scheme which is currently using a /24.

If I understand you correctly, Wifidog (I'm using version 1.1.4) does 
not expect to create the appropriate iptables rules for two instances?
