be Careful using the IPAddress as a primary security measure.
If the client has accessed your site through a proxy, then the IP Address
shown will be the IP Address of the proxy. While you can use
X_FORWARDED_FOR (or something similar,c ant remember off the top of my
head :p ) to determine the requesting IP address,
not all proxies support this and can be easily spoofed.
IP address checking is fine as a filter, but make sure more robust
methods are in place as a secondary precaution.
