Redirecting dialup users to a webpage...

I have a 3com total control and a few portmaster3's that have users dialing in to them. If a user is late on their bill, I'd like to authenticate them and redirect all their traffic to our website so they can pay their bill, nothing more. Any suggestions for an easy way to do this?

The best I can come up with is setup a 192.168.0.0/24 pool for those users, and block that traffic with an acl at the router. Now I have them contained to our network. I'm not sure how to redirect all their http requests though. Would there be an easy way to do that with something like squid? My only other idea was to have a special dns server assigned to those people and set it so every name resolves to our webserver IP address. Once again though no clue on how to make bind do that. Any suggestions would be great 🙂

edit: actually wildcards in bind don't look bad at all, I just have to learn about and setup views it seems like....not sure that I'll go through the hassle of giving them a non-routed ip, but...
