Possible, but not necessarily easy.

I would try something like this:

1. Create a symlink to your document root, so that both
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs
and
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs-internal
point to the same place

2. Use the mod_rewrite to choose the docroot

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} regex-matching-ip-range
RewriteRule (.*) /usr/local/apach2/htdocs-internal$1

3. Set the options differently on the two directories.

<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs>
Options None
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs-internal>
Options Indexes
</Directory>

I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but that is what comes to mind.
Note that it will only work for directories under the document root, but
you could handle other directories similarly if you want.
