I'm assuming you are talking specifically about web traffic and you are
using apache.

Read the docs on mod_rewrite. In short, it is possible, but since HTTP is
a stateless protocol, the server depends entirely on the client to provide
acurrate referral information, and a savy person can manipulate it at the
client end or on a proxy server.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html
(see the sections titled 'Blocked Inline-Images' and 'Referer-based
Deflector' for an idea)
