Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <directory> and deny directives
My little humble blog has been getting way too much attention from comment
spammers, and I'd like to begin cutting them off. I've identified the
hostnames they use to snoop for details to construct fake referer data,
and now I want to cut them off. I thought I could do it like this:
<Directory "C:/www/blog">
Options None
AllowOverride None
#Order allow,deny
#Allow from all
order deny,allow
deny from .svservers.com
deny from .static.theplanet.com
deny from .goo.ne.jp
deny from .cable.casema.nl
deny from -xbox.dedi.inhoster.com
deny from .knology.net
deny from .pppoe.mtu-net.ru
deny from .barak-online.net
deny from .barak.net.il
deny from .keymachine.de
deny from .hostingprod.com
deny from .client.bresnan.net
deny from 210.240.
deny from .dsl.ip.tiscali.nl
deny from .qwerty.ru
deny from .t-ipconnect.de
</Directory>
There's only one problem: it's not working! The log still shows visits
from these hostnames. What am I missing? Do I need to add "/*" to the
end of the <Directory> directive, or do subdirectories implicitly inherit
the same directives?
