The MAC method will not work IMO - if you put the ESP behind router and redirect all http traffic to it, it will fail - every connection will have the router's MAC address. AFAIK there are two methods to handle this:
1. use cookie - standard method and best solution IMHO
2. write your own logged/not logged system, based on some hashes from http headers (to unique identify computer and/or browser) and expiration timer.
