set home page from proxy

[jheaton]

I am setting up a simple Squid firewall/proxy for a public network. Is there a way to have squid set an initial page the for the first time it is accessed. (similar to a home page). This would be a disclaimer page explaining to the user that they are accessing the internet at their own risk, and that our company can not be held responisbile for the content that they might be exposed to. If squid can not do this, does anyone know of proxy software that will.

Thank You,

Hrm, check out NoCAT, a proxy/auth setup for WiFi/DSL cafe's... It's an *EXAMPLE* of using a login screen through proxy. Once auth'd you are passed another DHCP address that routes properly beyond the "DMZ" proxy.
the wiki is here:

It's probably too much for your needs, but it proves that the task CAN be done.

What strikes me is that you'd need to change something about the session, via a cookie, a change in IP, or something that let's the proxy know that the user has "assented" to your terms.

Wish I was more helpful. Maybe let us know how you pull this one off.
