Does the sysem need to be into the domain? If not: use is as a loose PC in a
workgroup (same name as the domain) and create an account for the
administrator, and theose 6 people who need the internet.

A computer without the domain still can:
Use DNS, DHCP and orther TCP IP services of the server and other network
host (printers, firewalls, ect)

IIRC you can even place a domain menber in the local user/groups of the
Workgroup PC, provided you add thoses users as domain administrator (using
\\domainname\administratorname and the right password) Tis would also mean
those users can use their network directory (but you'l have to find a work
around for the log-on script. It will not run, because you will not be
conected to the doain as such. Placing a batchfile calling the script from
the server should do the trick).

--
A complete other solution would be to make an image of the pc, burn it to a
bootable cd that will autmatically restore the image (It can be done using
either ghost or pqdi (powerquest) tools and some batch scripting.
If user messes up, user can ask for cd, put cd in computer, turn computer
on. And while he is waiting, he can get you a coke/pepsi and some snacks,
--
A third option would, as already sugested, be a firewall or proxi server
with password protection.
I wont say these solutions are the best or greatest, but the'll give you
something to think about and come up with a (of course) better idea.
