Is it possible to get a web page redirection for unauthorized users that goes to a web page or site of one's choice? Like Mikrotik's hotspot solution, but I don't like Mikrotik. I like you guys and I am going to stay with your solution, because it works great. Just wondering is all. Thanks again.
Yes, you can use the firewall 'forward' command to forward specific IPs, or subnets to a webserver of your choice. We allow our scripts to be managed remotely with our starutil utility, so you will be able to automate this behavior.
Thanks!

How about something similar to the Tarpit function? Where if they aren't in the list they get forwarded to the IP of an accounting server.

Just so I get this right, I can do a DHCP reservation for the MACs that are authorized onto my system and then give another IP range for unauthorized people and forward them to a web server at a specific IP address? Will this be the only site that the unautorized people can go, or can they still surf the web after the first redirection? Thanks for the helpful info.

That is a function of the firewall rules you write. You can redirect only port 80, or you can do more.
Personally I would make sure I handled all traffic, not just web.
