hey paul,

i dont know what type of LAN you have, wired or wireless, but if you have
aironet access points, made by cisco systems, you can configure it to force
all nodes to reauthenticate themselves every x number of minutes.

even if u dont have aironet, see what configurations your access points
have. hope this helps.
