I did a lot of this using an iptables module. Iptables lends itself very
well to these kind of things. Toy code at http://ds9a.nl/sps/

Some of the idea is cool. You can give a host a 'key' and tell your packet
filter to have it pass packets signed with that key. This way you can grant
or disable access on a very low level without depending on IP addresses,
which can be spoofed.
