location provider?

Hi folks,
I have a custom site map provider, that brings me the menu items for my application from a database. this inherits the StaticSiteMapProvider base class.

I am using the security trimming option to make visible only the items the authenticated user has rights to see, and it works fine, great!

But even it works fine, users still have access to the page if they brouser direct to the url of a page. I want to place all the logical of access in one place, without having to set one "location" node for each page in web.config.

My system is very dinamic and each page has a very particular set of users rigths. So, I decided to use a base class to all the pages, and include a logic in the "Load" event to restrict access. It´s a good solution, and worked weel.

My problem now, is that I work with a large team of developers, and it should be mandatory to have all pages inheriting from my base page class to make it work, and, it hard to control. I think, if it were possible to implement a custon "LOCATION" provider, I would make the default cheks for the web.config settings as it is done by the default provider and also would check for the sitemap nodes permission against the users permission, blocking the user access before the load event fires, without the necessity to use a base class to do this work.

I don´t know if I was clear. but that´s all. Any suggestions?
