Yep, but it sounds like they're doing the same thing many universities
and colleges do with their "public" networks these days. DHCP
provides a stub DNS that sends all requests to a web page where
you need to log in in some way to get a *real* DHCP address.

(Adam Preset, who may or may not still be listening here, could tell
you more about how he set this up at swarthmore.edu. That's already
enough for you to figure out his email address if you really want to
bug him privately, but he's a pretty busy guy.)
