You may be able to glean some useful information from some papers
that were presented at the 1999 LISA Conference:

http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa99/technical.html

The "NetReg" paper mentions an implementation of a universal webpage
that has some conceptual similarities to your idea.

You might also consult the papers "Managing Security in Dynamic Networks"
and "Dealing with Public Ethernet Jacks..." to see if there's anything
applicable to your particular environment.
