Extend dmNavigation and add a field for allowed IP networks (perhaps a list)
Make my own navajo/display.cfm tag that can look up the navigation tree for the allowed IPs. The idea is I could set the allowed IPs on the parent navigation node and it would be inherited kind of like how dmCSS works.
The new display tag would just go to a FarCry page explaining that this is a closed section of the site (perhaps even let people log in with their Whitman credentials)
I see a few potential issues: having to maintain my own display.cfm tag and the overhead of looking up the tree on each request. Can anyone think of a better route to take?

On a exciting note (for us anyway :) ) our FarCry site has been live for a few weeks and it's working great! http://www.whitman.edu/
I'm still in the long process of taking all the old content and loading it into the system. There's a lot of old-style html coding to be converted to XHTML. We've also been working on the admin side as well and have created a few custom tags. You can see a screenshot at http://www.whitman.edu/content/homepage/farcry/
There is a new navigation tab at the top to quickly go through the PLP steps and our htmlEditor tag supports FCKeditor 1.x for IE and HTMLArea for FireFox/Mozilla. If anyone is interested I can try to clean them up a little and send them a copy. We want to share back our changes as much as possible.
Oh, and the site is running off PostgreSQL and Linux.
I wanted to say a big thank you to Daemon for making such an excellent product and all the people on the list serv who have been a big help.
The few departments I've trained already are extremely excited about this!
Thanks again!
