Ahem... what about restricting the IP address of the *_database_* client to 127.0.0.1 - i.e. the web server, which *_it_* does the serving of pages to the outside world? Obviously a web site that can only be accessed by one machine is pretty pointless, though given the laziness of the programmer, who knows?

At least that's what I thought the original question was?
