We did something close to that for guest access on our
network and at  
remote sites.  We have a mixture of ATM and Frame relay and
wanted  
the ability to extend out unfettered internet access to our
remote  
sites.  What we used was a private vlan at the remote sites
which is  
then connected via GRE to a vlan on a switch.  The only exit
point is  
an interface on a pix that is the default router and also
serves dhcp  
for that vlan.  We think we might use the same thing for
wireless  
access at our remote sites.
