That makes sense. I just added a couple of lines to rc.local for now.
will update/test again in a month or so.
The other option I thought might work would be to make 2 nodes from the
ath0, wlan0 (station mode) and wlan1 (access point) and have the inside
addresses on a separate network, might try that later.
