RMI Security

Hello,
I am curious about how to implement a server-side security measure
using jdk1.1 and RMI. The goal will be for our central databse server
to check a connection to see if it is coming from a 'list' of acceptable
IP addresses (one or our 15 or so web servers that will be interacting
with our DB server). I am somewhat of a Java novice but, while this
seems to be specifically designed into 1.2, I am unsure of how to
implement this in 1.1, especially when the information from the web
server is not being sent via an Applet but rather a form-based HTML
system. If there is any advice that you could give me on this issue, I
would appreciate it.

Thanks,
JimG
