authenticate only from a certain ip possible?

Im trying to authenticate based on a certain ip, if the ip is not correct access should be not allowed.

Im using in application_controller:

before_filter :authenticate
  def authenticate
    authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
      username == "admin" && password == "talkmate"
    end
  end

What would be the correct way to add checking for IP and disallow access if the ip is not a certain value?

Check request.remote_ip. If it's not right, render error message, or redirect to error page (or something else).
