I use webmin for most administration on remote servers that I run. If I
was trying to achieve what you describe, then I would probably just use
iptables:
Networking > Linux Firewall
and add a rule at the start of the chain that limited the ip addresses
that can connect.
Just to clarrify: I have never done this, so you may need to do more
than I have suggested to either make the computer accessible / secure.
However I am sure that iptable can do what you want.
Hope this helps.
