[squid-users] SQUID to run a splash page before port 80 network access?

Hello...

 I was wondering if anyone is using Squid for this... odd application.

 We are looking into setting up free 802.11b wireless access at a few
sites, and would like to drive a "splash" page. That is, after someone
DHCPs an IP address and tries to access a web page, SQUID drives a
splash page that displays what can be done with the free
access, and who contributed. Then I'm looking to have an "OK LET ME GO"
button that adds the client's IP to the ACL list (a cron would clean
them out 1 hour later).

 I was thinking maybe it would be possible to change the denied error to
the welcome page, but the OK button to add the IP to an ACL? Hmmmp.

 Some hotels have a similar system, only it wants money instead of the
user just clicking OK.

         Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
