That is like what I want, though I am not any familiar with what it is
that I want ;-)

Let me expound:

I simply have three sites: http://{site2|site2|site3}.ourdomain.name

We use Cisco eqpt for NAS, and a RADIUS server. site1, site2 and site3
are meant to allow customers to register for, renew or manage the
service they have purchased from us. A customer only gets a card that
has a serial number and a PIN from our system. This allows them to sign
up for or renew a service they already have. The last site allows then
the luxury to manage the service.

I am foreseeing a situation where I have a new 'customer' or one whose
service expired. I want these two to be able to dialin to my NASes for
free, but only get access to site1, site2 or site3. Everything else is
blocked, until they dialin with the name they are paying for. I will
give them a common userid/passwd pair for this purpose.

Now what I learnt was that the concept is called "walled garden".

Your instructions (or Read This F Manual) to do this are welcome.

PS: I have rcvd some pointers off list, but I need more ideas, really.

TIA
