I think that first to look at is network design. With proper design such as vlans, secondary ip addresses, and proper dhcp config. I have ta similar requirement, but not as large. I have daily guest [dozens], with vlans and dhcp they can access the internet, but have absolutely no access or cause damage to any of the internal resources. -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
