How about a bit of perl that checks for @lego.com, gets the IP, and
cross-references it with the RIPE whois database to make sure it is a
legitimate lego address? (ie, registered to the person who does the
registering for lego - which seems to be the same person for all)
It does prevent write access from home (assuming, of course, that LEGO
emplyees don't dial in to the corporate net one way or the other (VPN
or so)), but it's less restrictive than single-IP and less likely to
break.
