Your explanation is not very clear Jignesh but in case of LTSP network
only the server address will show up to any other device (inetrnal or
external). So if you want host based firewall it is not going to work.
You need user based firewall.

You can set up transparent proxy with squis+squidgaurd that requires
user authentication. And access allowance can then be user/group
based.
