This middleware will prevent access to the admin if the users IP isn't in the INTERNAL_IPS setting, by comparing the request path with the reversed index URL of the default admin site, ultimately raising a 404 (unless DEBUG = True).

What about raising "Forbidden" instead of "Not found"? Have you tried access control using Apache directives?
