With all this talk about the zope list accepting any email I've been
trying to figure out why my message is still not delivered.  I've pasted
in my reply below and am sending this to see if it will go through on an
unsubscribed email account.

I've done something similar to give local users a url and off campus
users a url that
authenticates the user through the proxy server.  At the top of the page
I call a python script that
receives the REMOTE_ADDR and splits it on the dots and then checks the
first two octets of the IP
address.  If both match then a flag is set to true otherwise it is
false.  I think I recall getting
a script from the Zope Cookbook and used only the part I needed.  No
security was needed for this
page because access to the target urls did the authentication.

In the HTML page:

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('hostname',ip_add_flag(REMOTE_ADDR))">


     <dtml-if hostname>
       <br><A href="http://<dtml-var vdb_local_url>"><dtml-var
vdb_title></a>
     <dtml-else>
       <br><A href="http://<dtml-var vdb_proxy_url>"><dtml-var
vdb_title></a>
     </dtml-if>
    



In the Python Script:

import string

my_split=string.split(ipnum,'.')

#check for 123
if my_split[0]=='123':
  match1=1
else:
  match1=0

#check for 12
if my_split[1]=='12':
  match2=1
else:
  match2=0

if match1 and match2:
  return 1
else:
  return 0
