Find the appropriate 3-panel from Dilbert and hand it to the PHB.    He is asking you
to implement a solution for which he can't conceive of solving a problem better, that
hasn't been defined...at least not here.

I've walked away from more than one project where the "solutions" was worse than the
problem. 

A "primitive"  implementation would be to force users to connect to the "gateway" via
pptp and limit the number of concurrent logins.  You'd end up with the same
problem.... Either you'd have users logged in and staying logged in forever....or
you'd have to force disconnects....

If I were a user paying to use your client's service I'd walk away very quickly.

Good luck.
