you have to implement a pure java related solution and an elegant way is
to build a _protection_proxy_object_ (server). this object will
control (test) any attempt to access the real object (server). how ?
a simple way (and a nice solution): you can build two DB, one with hosts
(domains) which have and another with hosts (domains) which have not
access at your server (like those in linux: hosts.allow, hosts.deny).
through RMI, you have no facility for doing this job.
and Pete, there are many reasons for restrict the access even by machine
name. ask an good SysAdm.
