with a public ip range
we want to run our own domain newgen.co.in which has been given by our ISP vsnl new
delhi.

the problem is that each of these sites has its list of users working on LAN.
how do i at the web server (linux box) decide that a particular user is for a
particular site (LAN) (that is geographically apart (3-4 miles) in different offices).
and that the mails for that user be automatically transfered/received to/from the
corresponding site

yes! connecting through dialup. we have a router with one 64kbps and three 9.6 kbps
ports. all the three sites are to be connected through 9.6kbps dialup lines. and the
64kbps is used for the vsnl line (our ISP -Internet Service Provider)

we want to provide access to the web to a restricted set of users with authentication
using user name and password along with the individual m/c ip number
suppose a user with user id "mark" and password "mark123" works on a workstation
having ip "192.168.1.100" (on LAN) we want that whenever mark wants to access the web
he does so through the linux web server and on opening his browser he should get a
dialog box asking him to enter his user id and password, he enter a user id and
password which shall be valid only on his machine/ip ie; "192.168.1.100" (ie; on
192.168.1.100" only "mark" with "mark123" as password are allowed to access the net
through our web server).
