Unless you have a very small number of ip addresses and ports you want 
to allow those "restricted clients" to access...I would advise using an 
application layer proxy like Squid. It would have the added benefit of 
allowing you to configure authentication as well, which is almost always 
a more effective and thorough way to restrict [and monitor] client 
access. Goodluck,
