i once spent some time thinking about this. i planned on having all the clients running through a single firewall/masq box, and building a little tcl/tk app that would dynamically add and subtract masq rules for each client.
could couple this with the 'at' command, so that for each station, with a single click, could run a script something like:
#!/bin/sh # script to bring up this stations masq rule /usr/bin/masq_ip_up # something to warn them at 5 minutes left echo "/usr/bin/warn" | at now + 25 minutes # script to bring down this stations masq rule echo "/usr/bin/masq_ip_down" | at now + 30 minutes
anyway, just some thoughts, hope they help..:)
