that those particular MAC addresses get particular IP addresses and then
treat that specially.
Any other ideas come to mind?Does your guest know how to spoof MAC addresses?
You may want to set up known MAC addresses with "good" addresses, and any
unknown MAC addresses go to a local-only subnet, etc.
And, if your guest assigns himself a static IP and gateway that works with
your modem the DHCP server won't help.
So, there are some options:
Perhaps you want to set up a firewall that filters by MAC address. PF (the
BSD firewall) can do this, so if you want a mostly premade firewall a pfSense
VM might be a good download for you. And regular plain jane iptables can do
this on Linux too.
Or, you could set up Squid as a transparent proxy and filter MAC addresses
that way but Squid might be more work than you're after.
