This of course assumes you can configure a FreeBSD router directly with line presentation i.e. not using an intermediate box between it and the link to the ISP. However, I can't say I like the idea much of trying to tie all those nodes together with tunnels transiting the ISP. Sounds like a clear cut case for 802.11s ESS Mesh... which isn't available yet.
