[TriLUG] MAC-based web blocking

[Brian Henning]

Hi Gang,
   Thought I'd toss this out to the list as I search around, to see if 
anyone pipes up to say "Hey!  I do exactly that and I use ______."

I need to selectively block access to web sites based on MAC address of 
the browsing computer.  It needs to be essentially transparent to 
everyone except the computers of the users with whom we have issues 
(fortunately $boss is not to the "$coworker has ruined it for everyone" 
stage, and is just saying "block $coworker's access").  In other words, 
I need "MAC addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is only allowed to access this list 
of sites."

Any suggestions?  Oh, it should run on Linux (of course) and be as 
processor-un-intensive as possible (so it doesn't steal flops from the 
gateway machine's other important tasks; namely VPN and VoIP).

Cheers,
~Brian
