Hi All,

I've got a page in an ASP.Net app (its Mvc actually but not important) and I would like to only allow connections to this page from the local machine. I would love to do something like this in Web.config:

<location path="resources"><system.web><authorization><allow ips="local"/></authorization></system.web></location>  

I know this is possible with a simple check in the page code behind (or controller) and its even possible just with IIS configuration but I would love a Web.config config as this would be the most elegant solution in my opinion. Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

Guido
