[Chilli] Multiple SSID, multiple uamhome, and multiple radius server ?

[David Bird]

When the core (RADIUS, etc) settings are different per network/signal,
it makes sense to have multiple chilli instances per network. If on a
router with very limited memory, this might be a problem, however.
Though, making chilli able to have multiple configurations in one
running instance will also mean chilli grows in size. So, I'd say run
multiple chilli instances. To have them handled with a single instance,
then the vlan is a good idea to separate out the networks for handling
by the RADIUS server and captive portal. You can give different web
pages and your RADIUS server can proxy based on the VLAN too.

So the idea is that by exposing multiple SSID, when a user connects to a separate Wireless SSID, he is prompted with different uam home login page, and then authenticated against different radius server.

When the VLAN information is passed to the http server, it detects the VLAN ID and present the user with different login page. Is this a possible solution ?
