Synopsis: The .htaccess file requires authorization for everyone even if from .montgomerybell.com.
State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Mon Sep 8 20:44:08 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: First off, don't use "Limit GET POST" unless you really mean _ONLY_ limit GETs and POSTs. Leave the Limit container out entirely if you want to limit all methods. What does your logfile show for the requests that you think should be allowed by the allow from? If you are using NIS in a particular way or have your /etc/hosts file setup in a particular way Apache may never be seeing the domain name. Oh, if you have hostnamelookups off it will fail in 1.2 as well. The access log will give you a start on seeing why.
