Yes but does authpf have a mechanism for understanding this?  I've never
used authpf, but my limited understanding is that user makes ssh connection,
authpf looks at ip of connecting machine and adds it to a table.  Can you
tell authpf to authorize a different ip than that of the original connection
(in this case the webservers own ip)?  A quick scan of the man page says no,
but I'm no authpf expert.
