hahaha - I really do love those guys - who pry, probe, twist and then
share.  It keeps the dogs in line.

Thanks for the update James on Flash decompilers. Gordon...  You are right -
close the door and pass keys  instead of opening the door to all and hide
the key under the mat.

I suggested Flash as well.  However, it is worth noting that there are
Flash decompilers (one for
MacOS X is cleverly called "Gordon") which could reveal the form
variables.

Also, any good packet sniffer could pick up the HTTP request and reveal
the variables.  In short,
anything you do is possible to be broken.

I like the idea of restricting connections by IP and connections over time
but I also know that
IPs are routinely spoofed.  Make sure your own IP is whitelisted or you
may get locked out of your
own application.

Good security requires carefull planning.
