A proxy would probably do that for you. I have a web server at work that
I'd like to be able to limit access to using IP addresses. Unfortunately,
policy requires us to us a proxy for Internet access, and even though my
server is on the internal network, traffic to it is still routed through the
proxy, so the server logs everything as coming from the proxy.
