If you are not that attached to the .config file you could use the SocketPermissionAttribute or the SocketPermission class to specify the IP addresses that you are willing to accept. If you wanted to still have the flexibility of a configuration file you could add use entries in the config file and programmatically accept or deny IP addresses.

This is usually handled at the web server level (i.e. IIS). You *could* write an ASP.NET module that enables this behavior as well, but I see no reason to do this if the web server your running on already provides this functionality for you.
