For restricting you should try :
 <SELECT NAME="restrict" SIZE="1">
  <OPTION VALUE="">All of the Web site
  <OPTION VALUE="http://www.mysite.com/one">First Part
  <OPTION VALUE="http://www.mysite.com/two">Second Part
  <OPTION VALUE="http://www.mysite.com/three">Third Part
 </SELECT>

It works like a champ... I actually combine both methods, I use
restriction and also split things into different databases and rather than
use the database  references I use different configs for each database
allows for a lot more flexibility.
