IP based authentication for public HTTP servers is not a very clever solution (to say it politely). It does not gain any security but destroys functionality. A better option would be HTTP(S) auth for the upload script or auth by SSL/TLS client certificates. Login data for the former method could be reused from Bugzilla; the latter option requires some CA infrastructure at RH. Enrico
