if i get you right, you use properties of the user objects. my first thought about this was to create organizational units in ad and restrict "logon locally" for these users in the computer objects. that way users would not have a rstriction to ip's in them but only the workstations do. due to the number of ou's (for every computer there will be one) in the directory this will only be useful with a limitde number of users and workstations. hope this helps.
