Access to restricted pages should be secure especially if people start "fiddling" with them. I'm not sure if you are aware of the fact that the hostname I use to reach your machine is entirely under my control. I can just add whatever I want to my /etc/hosts and I will see those pages. And once you are using this as a security mechanism you will accidently rely on this because after a test on your setup it "looks" secure. So in my opinion your security approach is like aiming the loadded shotgun at your foot and taking the safety off. You only have to wait a bit before it goes off.
