[Casper] Self Service Feature REQ

Since this is more or less a desire to limit the scope of an install,  
is it possible to create a network segment just for that class, and  
use it as the filter? You could limit DHCP expirations to something  
like an hour, or immediate (depending on the equipment) - just long  
enough to grab some software and install. No mucking around with  
groups and other such nonsense - more or less a giant filter is  
enabled without you having to know the details.

You could patch in a local subnet or VLAN (wired), or setup a WAP and  
give it a temporary password (put it on the blackboard or something  
simple) - set the policy in casper to allow self-service for that  
policy within that network seg.

Since this gets into the network side of life...you never know -  
depends on how nice those guys play. Then, when no longer needed, turn  
it off.
