Apache has "Allow From" and "Deny From" directives that can control access based on the DNS of a connecting IP (found by a reverse lookup). I was wondering if IIS has an equivalent to this capability.
 
Go to IIS Manager

Right click on Web Sites/Default Web Site.

Go to the Directory Security tab

Click the EDIT button under "IP address and domain name restrictions"

I think this is what you want

Actually, upon reading the documentation, that does not seem to be able to filter based on DNS name of the connecting IP. It just lets you filter based on IP, and gives you the ability to do a one-time reverse DNS lookup to find that IP.

So does IIS have the ability to filter based on DNS name?

In other words, does it have the ability to perform a reverse lookup on an IP as it connects and filter based on that?
