I brought similar but "client" networks to life (so the network were
more demanding -> clients!=students ;) ).
Not going into details I would use pppoe tunneling with radius authentication.
Radius can be easily managed by an external aplication and I believe
that it's scalability will let you connect it to the squid and so on.
Everything is VERY simple unless You start to migrate - I would
suggest You to build own simple app (C, C# ,java or something - ask
programmers at your campus ;) ) to build such app that it will create
a ppppoe connection under windows. Making scripts to notify everyone
that they have to use authentication/give U their macaddr is only a
routing here.
And - NO - pppoe is NOT unstable . I know DOZENS of success stories
with NO (i repeat - NO ) problems
