One another solution is to use an authentification on the Firewall.
You can create an account on the Firewall (one user and the corresponding
password),
then you give to the authorized users the login/pass
they connect to
http://internal_or_external_Firewall_Interface:900
or telnet to internal_or_external_Firewall_Interface port 259
(Maybe you think it is not secure to let them know the firewall adress but
If they do a traceroute they can know the interface adress)
It is one solution, maybe you think it is not interesting ...
but I've already use it for a such problem, but not for 500 users, it was
less hopefully !
