If you're using Cisco gear on the edge of the wireless network to handle
the NATing, it might be helpful to turn on Netflow and send the flow
data to a collector. Even an open-source tool like Flowviewer would give
you better records of which client is passing what kind of traffic;
depending on the number of IPs we're talking about, that might be
sufficient to handle your HEOA demands.
