A minor (I hope) potential feature request for httpd: I wish to redirect clients not from a certain IP (e.g. my public IP at home) to a different location, temporarily. The purpose of this is to allow setting up a "maintenance" page so that I can properly test my site with a piece of mind before actually making it available to other visitors.
