There are legitimate reasons to do things like this. For instance, my university (NC State) library interfaces to several journals in this way. Basically only campus IPs are permitted access, but you can log in from an outside computer with your student/faculty ID and use the journals.
It shouldn't be so difficult with External Methods, using Python's urllib and some link parsing. But make sure to add a socket timeout ( timeoutsocket.py ) so that Zope doesn't get blocked with non responding sites. zOpenDirectory does actually something similar, but with a deeper parsing.
