Yes you could do the same thing with a firewall. I don't think you can
fine grain the root logins like that
through ssh though. What I ended up doing as a stopgap until the box gets
reloaded:

- - added 'sshd: ALL' to /etc/hosts.deny (ssh obeys these files)
- - added 'sshd: 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0' to /etc/hosts.allow (their internal
network)
- - set PermitRootLogins to No in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
