You can accomplish this by using a firewall, say for example Checkpoint, and
authenticated the protocol against a Radius server, again for example. For
instance, you can have an access list for users allowed to use FTP or HTTP,
and before they connect they would have to authenticate their username and
password.

Trying to figure out if anyone has seen or heard of
some type of gateway or method for setting up an OS to
be a gateway to authenticate all users before they
have access into a NT/2000 network.  The thinking
behind this would be the end-user would only be able
to connect to the internal network through this
gateway (i.e. access to all servers and associated
ports on the internal network would be blocked until
authentication occurred and then you would be
restricted by your personal access level).  Looking to
expose only a single point internally instead of a
myriad of servers.
