Essentially yes. Set the password to blank and put the IP addresses 
you want to provide access to  in the domains box. Change the role to 
be 'Owner' or something and turn off 'Acquire Permissions' and 'View' 
for the index_html DTML in the target folder. Make the index_html 
DTML have 'View' permission for the role you've set up. That should 
do it.

There's also some messages lurking in the archives on this issue.
