Hi Kev,
I had a similar problem but for my production applications. I wanted my
solution to be flexible and server independent so what I did was create
a servlet filter, as someone else has already suggested. I've had it for
production for almost a month and so far so good.
I have to admit that I went a little further down the road and I allowed
to specify the IP/hostnames to be allowed denied through an xml file
that can be read from a file, a URL or a database. That way I got
maximum flexibility.
These are the links that I used to create my filter:

I hope this helps,
Dan
