This whole DNS hack is broken, browsers will cache the record and
you end up with breakage when using different captive portals in
succession. The hostname used should at least be different for each
setup.
Other aruba dns hacks, like rapconsole.arubanetworks.com, are even more
painful; it is rather annoying when you know the address of a device, try to
access it and it keeps redirecting you to a faked DNS name that does not
work.
