I need to treat my clients differently depending on where they came

external requests need to go through authentication. Is there a way to
configure Realms in Tomcat to accommodate this?
Is there another way to achieve this, i.e. without using Realms or
missing valve/filters with Realms?
Maybe phrasing the problem in a different way would throw another light on the
issue :
You want to automatically authenticate requests coming from a given IP (or IP range), for
example by authenticating them as user "local", and not do this for other requests, which
then would have to go through a normal authentication.
Since I am more familiar with Apache httpd than with Tomcat, I will ask if by any chance
you are already fronting Tomcat with another webserver ?
