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.
