Just a thought, but thinking about how some hotels do it, you might be 
able to use a proxy and some cookies to do it. Have a proxy redirect any 
request to a certain homepage and then that page gives out a cookie that 
validates entry to other sites for the browser's session (at least, 
that's how I /think/ hotels do it). If that's not how they do that in 
reality, finding out how to actually do it might be a valuable lesson too.

Just a thought,
