I'm not sure if this is the level you need an answer on, but I would put a dictionary in the proxy keyed by IP address and with a value of the last time that user was forced to the intranet site. Check that against the current time and a 16 hour offset and send a redirect message if it's out of date. Hoping someone else chimes in with how to stick a redirect into a proxy, glancing at the code I'm not sure how to tell you to do that, though it's clearly possible.

Hello,<br> I am new to python and I am potentially interested in writing<br>a new protocol with Twisted. However I wanted to start with a simpler<br>problem that I have been working on, so that I can understand better
<br>how twisted works.<br><br> A particular client wants to enforce a home page for the first<br>internet connection each day. They have a intranet portal that gives<br>messages to employees and they want to be sure that each employee, no
<br>matter how they have their homepage set, will see the messages the<br>first time they connect. After the first connection they want the<br>proxy to simply forward requests to the internet without filtering.<br><br> Since I need to understand this issue for my other project
<br>too, how do I get the python loop do one thing based on a "new day"<br>for an IP address and then do something else after that action has<br>been completed. Example code that addresses my problem would be great,
<br>but I would be happy to have links to examples that do this...<br><br>Thanks!!<br><br>--<br>Fred Trotter<br><a href="http://www.fredtrotter.com">http://www.fredtrotter.com</a><br><br>_______________________________________________
