I've got a number of internal hosts, all running on a private network,
and I don't really want to have to run apt-p2p on every single host.
The use-case I wouldn't mind seeing is to have apt-p2p running on a
single host, within the network, and that any host on that same network
can access it.
Perhaps implement an option to allow connections from the local subnet?
With an option to ignore requests coming in from specific IP addresses
(to prevent someone from trying to relay a request in through my router,
for instance)?
ALLOWED_IP = 192.168.0.0/24 except 192.168.0.1
Or, if it's simpler, an enumerated list of permitted IP addresses.
Of course, I'm assuming apt-p2p is capable of performing functions
similar to apt-proxy and the like. It certainly seems to be able to do
so.
If I understood Python better, I'd be happy to do this myself; of
course, I've been planning to teach myself for a while now, so maybe
this would be a good project to take a crack at ...
