[TriLUG] MAC-based web blocking

If you are buying a switch, couldn't you buy a managed switch and just use 
that to solve the issue?

Well, if you don't have managed switches, you can do a RLAN ;)  And by
"RLAN" I mean, a real LAN.  Physically run the perp's ethernet through
a different switch, into a router/squid proxy that punishes him as you
and your boss see fit.  If you anticipate adding more people to this
punishment zone, you could buy a switch to put in front of the
router/squid proxy.
