Question : MySQL Security: Block all Internet IP addresse excluding those I dynamically add from a batch file

Hi there,

I have a MySQL database.

I have a batch file that will decide what Internet IP address is permitted to access our MySQL database by putting it's IP address list in the text file "AcceptedInternetIPlist.txt".

I need to manually permit all communications to our MySQL database from our local subnet and block all IP communications from the Internet except those I specify from a batch file.


FOR EXAMPLE:
@echo off
mysql.exe --ClearAllinternetIPexceptions
FOR /F "delims=" %%A in (AcceptedInternetIPlist.txt) do mysql.exe --AddInternetIPException %%A
mysql.exe --ApplyInternetIPException
exit

BY USING MYSQL SECURITY FEATURES:
1) I need to know how to permit all IPs communications from local subnet.
2) I need to block all IPs from the internet
3) I need to have a batch file that will add exceptions to permit connections only comming from the Internet IP addresses listed in "AcceptedInternetIPlist.txt".

NOTE: I need to have a working script since I know very little about MySQL. You can pretend the host, fake credentials and database name if required.

Thanks for your help,
Rene
