May be I am thick here, I still don't understand what you are after
here. You can block access with:
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from w.x.y.z/xx
And with something like:
BrowserMatchNoCase "\MSIE 5.5" browser=MSIE_5.5
and SetEnvIf, you can do clever things.
I didn't put a lots of thoughts in the last piece here as I use that for
blocking some specific traffic and the like, but I don't see why it
woudln't be possible.
Then I use something like:
RewriteRule <Your rule here> http://%{REMOTE_ADDR}/ [L,E=nolog:1]
But that needs to be specific for each setup you want to use.
I would need to spend time thinking about it, but I would think it's
possible to do. Not easy, but possible. Some reading is needed.
Todays post on Undeadly about the Layer-7 SSL load balancer almost
looked as if it could do just this, at least if you could identify
win-machines with the OS fingerprinting, and send all IE (hence all
winders users) to a relay that would change so that the server doesn't
announce range capabilities.
Perhaps a long-winded way of "solving" this, if there is no other simple
knob in apache to turn ranges off.
