Interesting problem. Are we to assume that there are several classrooms, and a teacher in one should not be able to shut off or turn on Internet access in other classrooms? A simple redirect_program that checks for an on/off variable (set by a webpage script) against the IP of a clasroom's computer(s) is the solution that jumps out at me. Could also have the teacher power down the hub/switch the classroom computers are connected to. =D
