Do you have rsync running as a daemon, or are you using ssh?
If rsync is running as a daemon, put this at the top of the rsyncd.conf
file:

hosts allow = 10.42.20.43/32

If you're using ssh, then it's more difficult, depending on whether ssh
connections are to be permitted between all systems or not.
