rest

For certain Restful URIs I want to block certain domains from executing the requests. How can i do this with Apache? Is it possible

For example:

www.nottrusted.com calls my Restful Api
Apache identifies the request is coming from a non-authorized site
Apache blocks the caller and returns a 401

Is this possible? Is it easy for someone one spoof the domain? If a request comes from server side code of nottrusted.com will Apache catch the request?

Thanks
