You probably want to consider shoving a proxy in front of CouchDB. One the major bonuses we get from speaking vanilla HTTP is that there is myriad software to act as a gateway for your database. You could reverse proxy with Apache and deny access to everyone, and permit access to an IP range, and with a password, and over SSL. Mix and match to your heart's content.
