Actually it stinks as it breaks lots of things for no good reason.
For hotspots where you need to register a DHCP options would be infinitely
better than trying to intercept DNS/HTTP. At least then you know that you
need to register.
HOTSPOT <url>
e.g.
http://192.0.2.1/hotspot-registration.html
http://[2001:DB8::1]/hotspot-registration.html
Note: no dependancy on DNS working until the registration is complete.
If the OS doesn't request HOTSPOT you leave the old methods still enabled
but if the DHCP request asks for HOTSPOT you stop attempting to intercept
DNS and HTTP queries.
