A unsuspended dialup customer gets a regular IP address and is directly on the Internet. Suspended customers get a 192.168.0.0/24 IP address - we want all of that traffic directed by the router to the Apache machine so that no matter what web site they request in the browser they are sent to the 'suspended' page. If you don't redirect the traffic at the router how are you going to get the packets from a dialup customer on a terminal server to the Apache box? Once you get the packets to the Apache box you still need to get it to accept the traffic rather than bouncing it back out to the router - that's what the IPFW stuff is for. There are lot's of ways that Apache can determine the calling IP address - the problem is getting the packets to Apache in the first place.
