How is that supposed to work when I only want to allow connections to a 
service on a whitelist of IP addresses?

Right now I do this with static iptables rules that I have set up 
(which, since I am never /not/ running the daemon in question, doesn't 
have any drawbacks I can think of off the top of my head).
