Unfortunately not. The DSpace is not really built for hiding item metadata, items, collections or comunities (it can restrict access to bistreams perfectly fine, but not hide that they exist). So think again - do you really need to hide the information that those collections exist and what items they contain or is it enough for you to restrict access to their bitstreams? If you really need to hide them, we recommend that you set up another DSpace instance, restricted only to intranet access by external means (e.g. firewall, tcpwrappers, Apache or Tomcat settings). You can still move items/collections between them using AIP export/import or SWORD.
