As Odoo does not have firewall function, then you need to build (part of) the firewall function into Odoo. The question is why do you want to do that instead of using firewall?

Hi Ivan, Thanks for your reply. the concept of using XML-RPC i want to add some ip's in custome module and only ip can call which i will put in openerp not using firewall. I hope you understand what is my requirement. Have any idea about this one?

I don't have experience in that particular area. You can pick some ideas from the following post: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/how-to-get-user-ip-address-25735.

Use a firewall.  If you are using Ubuntu, use gufw (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw).  Nasically what you want to do is to deny, in the 1st server, the 2nd server IP address from using port you are using for XML-RPC (default is 8069)

Just bind the xml-rpc interface to localhost, 127.0.0.1 for ipv4. In openerp configuration:

xmlrpc_interface = 127.0.0.1

With that configuration the server will only accept request from localhost, i.e. the same machine with the server. I assume you want your second server 'hidden' from the internet.
