You
normally wouldn't use an HTTP server to implement a firewall. A firewall
is normally a piece of hardware which you configure to permit or deny access to
certain types of traffic or alternatively you can get software firewalls which
perform the same job in the OS's network layer. The advantage of this
approach is that you stop the traffic getting into your network at
all.
Having
said that, you could create a Jetty handler or servlet filter which checked the
client address and rejected it if it didn't like it. However, in this case
you're relying much more on the security of your operating system and Jetty than
in the firewall case.
