If nixspam doesn't gag me again - tried to respond yesterday.
Put anyone whose MAC address isn't registered on a different subnet, like
192.168.11.x, and give your router no route to 9.0.9.9, only to the
internal.
As a response to someone else's cmts, the set of kids who knows how
they're being blocked is a small subset of all kids, and those who know
that a MAC address can be forged is a small subset of the previous. And
*then* they'd have to find out a valid MAC address.
On top of that, it would seem to me that the ones for whom you have a
registered MAC address is either hardwired, and so on, permanently, or the
teachers and staff are in before the students, mostly, and so when a
student tries to spoof the MAC, they get refused, since the real system
already has the IP address.
