control access of a username

Question

When I tried to access the 'admin' account for JIRA, it gave me a CAPTCHA (due to subsequent login attempts with wrong passwords). I logged in as another administrator of JIRA and checked the user 'admin', I noticed that there were 16 failed log-in attempts.

Is there a way in which I can link an IP Address (or Range of Ip Addresses)to a username, such that if someone outside the range of authorized IP Addresses tries to log in with the correct password, is blocked?

No, Jira doesn't do that.  It's more the sort of thing you'd devolve to your web-server though (we do something like that in Apache for a couple of clients here)
