Doesn't sound that hard, but do note that you can't stop people behind a 
firewall from sharing accounts because they'll all look like they come from 
the same site.  Also, there are lots of reasons someone might need to change 
where they come in from, many of which are out of their control.  You'll need 
a reasonable way to manage this when it comes up.
