How would I go about only requiring basic auth only for external connections to my localhost?

That is: I run a local version of Apache and I don't want to have to sign in while I'm working locally but if I want to make it available on a public IP/hostname I want it to require Basic Auth.

Thank you!

Apologies, you're quite right. It's just tricky to navigate all the stackexchange sites so I forget which one is most appropriate. – koorb Jul 26 '11 at 11:50

The Apache documentation on Satisfy has an example:

Require valid-user
Allow from 192.168.1
Satisfy Any

Thats amazing. Thought we'd got it. Only thing seems that I can't get it to ask for a password remotely. Require valid-user Allow from 192.168.1 Satisfy Any Just always seems to let me in. – koorb Jul 26 '11 at 11:48
What is the ip of a typical remote user? What is your ip when you connect? – Anders Lindahl Jul 26 '11 at 13:23
