You can't live without tcp_wrappers. It allows you to do not only what you have described, but (if you compile it with the extended configuration option) control exactly what happens when user W at site X connects to your host Y port Z. It really only works with stuff run from inetd, though it supports a library to allow programs to link with it if they run standalone (nothing really uses this). It doesn't matter much, because apache httpd has a virtualhost config, sendmail knows how to handle mail for various domains, etc. I made a small patch for ircd to allow specification of its binding address in the config file. -- Christopher Masto . . . .
