Subject: Simple access control

Which servers have the ability to deny connections based on hostname?
ie
	access	/local/*	*.nz	refuse
	host	/local/*	*	fail

would only allow *.nz access to anything in /local and everyone else
would be refused.

I ask, because it is a simple step to go from this to
	kdomain	/www/sensitive/budget/*	budget
	kdomain	/www/sensitive/staff/*	staff

to define kerberos demesne for files in various locations and do away
entirely with the hostname gumpf.
