You could get a VPN for that, use the VPN settings to configure a router using dd-wrt or tomato router firmware and all 
of the PCs traffic will go through the VPN. For the VPN, set up your own VPN or hire a VPN provider, there are many.

My job is now taking on the security responsibilityes for my network. We
have nearly 250 pcs on the network and theres about 30 macs too (ugh). I
was just doing the network before this but the security guy got fired on
the weekend after getting caught with drugs.

My boss wants to stop people being able to post their IP number on the
internet. I was telling him that you have to worry about the MAC numbers
getting posted too, otherwise you can get hacked using them if the
hackers get those numbers. Most people dont really know thats how you
can get hacked on facebook or some of the forums (especially php
forums).

If I wanted to buy something to block these getting posted, what would
be the best? Or should I look into doing it myself with linux?? Any good
books you think I should read about this?

Thanks in advance,
Justin
