Hi,

  Does anyone know of a way to issue DHCP addresses to clients on the LAN
on initial connection and then to authenticate to some kind of controller
and be reissued a different address that would allow Internet access? or
similar?

  I would like to implement an authentication system for new devices
coming on the LAN (similar to the way that Chilispot et al work for
wireless) before allowing Internet access.

  Also, can anyone recommend a way of measuring traffic from each client?

TIA,

Dave
