I'm about to tackle exactly this problem. Please feel free to shoot down
my plan which has not yet been implemented 8-) ...
I intend to remove the "other" execute permission on htsearch and force
all searches to go through a perl wrapper script. That wrapper will
detect whether the request is coming from inside/outside our domain and
force restrictions on which config files may be used.
As long as the wrapper script is able to execute htsearch (that's just
another permissions matter) then I haven't yet found a flaw in the plan.

Malcolm.
