I appreciate the reply; however, is it possible to do this without the use
of mod_rewrite? The server that this will be implemented on does not use
mod_rewrite, but a custom modified version called mod_rewrit. This was
trimmed down to be more secure, and most features were left out. So, any
ideas now? Thanks!

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)
