I'm having a similar task here. Provide a bunch of young people with
Internet access in a way so that if they clash with the rules, they can be
'relieved' of the possibilities of the big web.
This I intend to accomplish by using freesco v 0.34. It has some abilities
that enables me to do it easily.
Plan A:

1) Set up forwarding so that no-one in the subnet is allowed to go out.

2) Set up restrictions to allow specific NIC's (MAC/IP combinations) to go
out. This calls for contacting the SysAdmin in order to get a working
connection.

3) Set up DHCP-service to provide static leases to each known
NIC.

4) In combination 2 and 3 ought to cut out the industrious ones
bringing in another PC to circumvent restrictions - an unknown NIC does
get a DHCP-lease and can participate in game-parties etc. but is not
allowed to access the web.

5) Logging of DNS-lookups etc in order to catch the ones that just had to
try the forbidden fruit anyway. Result: Quarantined for one month (or what
the going rate will be).

Very interesting,

Would it be a problem if the MAC > IP lookup list grew to 300+ entries?

We have an Ubuntu box just acting as a firewall for this network now. Would
it be possible to implement something like the scenario above under Ubuntu
too? Which software would I then need?

Thanks again for opinions on these details
