Thanks angelo,

I'm working on a config that will use an ssl website where a user can
authenticate, and once authenticated, their current mac gets recorded and
placed in a table that allows that system to receive a dhcp address that
routs to the public.


There's a reference on how some larger universities have accomplished this,
but I was wondering if anyone on the bsd list had some specific examples or
ideas.

Thanks for your comments.

I know that squid can be set up by mac address to allow or deny access. you
have to compile it with this option

you can try to redirect all tcp 80 request to the proxy.. and blocking them

but, with mac address.. I think, you should know each address ( per
example, if you'd installed each nic on your client's computer )
before trying to block.. not just try to find by arp.. you cant control a
situation that, an user chaging his nic ( maybe because any damage ).. so,
not so good solution..

regards

Angelo
