Even if I wrote a script to add the MAC address to the ipset after they first connect it won't make a difference. When a windows user starts up their machine there's probably 20 remote port 80 connections being made which would negate the whole purpose of this. I'll just acquisition a free box and try chillispot. Thanks for the prompt answer! On a side note, I'd like to thank you for all the years of support and development of Shorewall. I almost never come to the list because the in-line and on-line documentation is so good. Over the years I've managed to deploy some pretty elaborate router/firewalls with Shorewall.
