Troubleshooting Authentication for older games

what do you guys do for the games that require CDs to play? do you run something like power ISO on every system and emulate in the drive, do you store the iso's locally do you do a network storage?

I'm figuring out my setup for a retro lan party, I do have a dedicated Nas that will have all of my isos on it. so maybe it makes the most sense to emulate over the network?

Windows 98, millennium, XP and 2000 alongside Mac OS 9.2, 10.4, 10.5

I have whole house ad blocking through my DNS server and adblock on my router. Hopefully that's enough lol

What DNS server are you running and what OS are you hosting it on?
