Well you could launch another set of listeners especially for the non-proxied non-localhost address, and when you get a request through, instead of passing it through directly to the Active 4D slave processes, filter the IP Addresses. This can be done using ITK_TCPStrmInfo to get the remote IP Address and if the request is from a unacceptable IP address Close and release the stream immediately (or follow the method that the shell uses) . If the request is not from localhost then you will have to remember to relaunch the additional stream and not a locahost stream. The advantage with this method is that if somebody tries to tie up your alternative (non-localhost) listening streams via a port scan then you can still keep on trucking with the proxied version.
