I've taken to using SSL as much as possible; I figure SSL + apache 
passwords + application passwords keeps most of the bad critters out.... 
It would be good if mythweb had the ability to limit access based on

Now if only I could figure out how to run virtual SSL hosts, but I 
understand that's pretty much impossible.
