This can be done in more than one way. I use both.

You can use the access.conf file in your WWW server
(assuming you are running Apache). This is straight forward and is well documented on http://www.apache.org/

You can also enable IP Firewall on your linux server. This
requires the right configuration parameters in the kernel plus a tool [ we use the command line ipfwadm() ] to set up the linux firewall.

The access.conf in Apache is easiest for WWW only concerns. However, the firewall tools are very robust and highly flexible (and more complex to configure).

There are www-based tools to simplify this, but I don't use them. If someone knows a good one, please post!

apacheconf

apacheconf(1)						       Apache configuration						     apacheconf(1)

NAME

       apacheconf - Apache configuration utility

SYNTAX

       apacheconf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  new  graphical  tool  to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration
       options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts.

OPTIONS

       None

FILES

       /usr/bin/apacheconf
       /usr/share/apacheconf/*
       /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/rpm.adl
       /var/cache/alchemist/apache/*

EXAMPLES

       To run this program simply type:

       apacheconf

SEE ALSO

       httpd(8)

BUGS

       Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet.

       The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual  changes
       to  the	httpd.conf  file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file
       will be generated.
