Given these facts, the answer should be obvious...
Or for a different approach (under the assumption that when you said "internet access" you actually meant "web access"), run squid, configure shorewall so that access to the web is only possible via squid, and configure squid with time-based acls. Offhand, I don't see any particular advantages of either approach over the other for the stated problem. Squid's acls are capable of a lot more in general though, if you ever wanted to define more complex access rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
