User specific automatic data redirection system
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a database with entries correlating each of a plurality of user IDs with an individualized rule set;
a dial-up network server that receives user IDs from users'"'"' computers;
a redirection server connected to the dial-up network server, an authentication accounting server connected to the database, the dial-up network server and the redirection server;
wherein the dial-up network server communicates a first user ID and a temporarily assigned network address for the first user ID to the authentication accounting server; and
wherein the authentication accounting server accesses the database and communicates the individualized rule set that correlates with the user ID and the temporarily assigned network address to the redirection server.

Abstract
A data redirection system for redirecting user'"'"'s data based on a stored rule set. The redirection of data is performed by a redirection server, which receives the redirection rule sets for each user from an authentication and accounting server, and a database. Prior to using the system, users authenticate with the authentication and accounting server, and receive a network address. The authentication and accounting server retrieves the proper rule set for the user, and communicates the rule set and the user'"'"'s address to the redirection server. The redirection server then implements the redirection rule set for the user'"'"'s address. Rule sets are removed from the redirection server either when the user disconnects, or based on some predetermined event. New rule sets are added to the redirection server either when a user connects, or based on some predetermined event.
