I don't have any experience in doing this, and how you would go about it 
depends on your situation (choice of application server, whether you want to 
restrict all access to DSpace, or just specific pages, etc.).

But if you are hosting on Tomcat, want to block access across the entire 
DSpace application (or even across the entire host or everything served by 
Tomcat), and haven't done so already, then you ought to start by looking at 
the Remote Address Filter valve

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/valve.html

It's configurable at Engine (whole of Tomcat), Host (domain), or Context 
(single web application) level. If you wish (or can get away with) 
restricting only at the level of the application, then you can do so 
supplying a Context definition in the file /META-INF/context.xml within the 
war.
