... Assuming of course that you don't want to include other services. 
They could be covered by the tcp wrappers along the same lines as above
with the hosts.allow/deny files.  

Additionally, you won't include sites that are in Aust that don't have
an .au suffix places like au.company.com, but you could always try to
treat them as a special case (depending on the app).
