You *could* then restrict root access to limited -> hosts via the /etc/login.access file.

and I'll recommend to define in sshd.conf: UseLogin yes -> Might not be the best way, but better than just allowing root access from -> anywhere (suicide). -> Of course you could always login as another user and then 'su -' to root.
