Listen 127.0.0.1:80

and define for the webroot directory:

Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1

To be a bit more explicit, make that:

#
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve
# your documents. By default, all requests are taken from
# this directory, but symbolic links and aliases may be
# used to point to other locations.
#
# Default at installation
# DocumentRoot "installdrive:/installpath/htdocs"
DocumentRoot "yourdrive:/yourdocumentroot"
:
:
#
# First, we configure the "default" to
# be a very restrictive set of features.
# This lets no one in.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
:
:
# Later we can use more specific
# settings per directory served.
# It doesn't harm to repeat the
# Options and Deny directives.
#
<Directory "yourdrive:/yourdocumentroot">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
#
# you may want to be less restrictive
# for other specific directories.
#
<Directory "yourdrive:/yourdocumentroot/public">
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All
Deny from blacklisted.domain.com
Deny from msn.com aol.net
</Directory>
....

Hope this helps.
