Re: Block domain address from web server

[Mike Schienle <mgs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Following up to myself here. Thanks to O'Reilly's Webmaster in a 
Nutshell - http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/webmaster3/ - available via 
Safari, here's the info:

deny from hostname hostname ...
[Within <Directory> or .htaccess]

The deny directive specifies which hosts are denied access to a 
directory. The hostname can be one of the following:

Domain name
    A domain name, like .oreilly.com. Hosts from that domain are denied access.

Hostname
    A full hostname.

Full IP address
    The IP address of a host.

Partial IP address
    The first 1 to 3 bytes of an IP address, for subnet restriction.

Network address with netmask
    A full network address, followed by a full netmask. (i.e., 
192.168.220.110/255.255.255.0), or by an abbreviated netmask. (i.e., 
192.168.220.110/24 is equivalent to 192.168.220.110/255.255.255.0)

all
    Using the word all means that all hosts are denied access.
