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.  Keep up the excellent 
work!
