For Web and FTP Squid as proxy server... Use external firewall to lock external web access to machine hosting proxy server... Either set up an automatic proxy... or just give notes. With E-Mail one can setup a similar config with local server acting as relay for outgoing mail. Local cache DNS with appropriate logging Set up DHCP to deliver DNS settings, You can run all of the above on the same box... Static IP on network point managed by router is at best iffy for this, the kit can be expensive and for your situation probably very high maintenance. I would suggest a machine registration setup based on MAC of guests machine or more manageably a certificate, If you dont register you dont get access, I suspect most Hotel Front office procedures can be easily adapted to manage this... Charge for above :-) Logs can be backed to CD/DVD so can be as detailed as your law requires. I think the network equipment sector is in for some good time in Denmark.
