You could do something with resolv.conf and the hosts file as well as the routing table to prevent access to anywhere but the card catalog without necessarily having to use a firewall.

Looks interesting, it would have to be behind some type of firewall to only allow the browser to access our card catalog, but it might work. Did you happen to see the requirements for this. The tweaked out K12LTSP terminals I have setup right for card catalog access are 133mhz with about 48mb of ram I don't think that these will boot to CD though.
