Hi All, Googled for this specific scenario but could not come to a consensus on the solution so checking with this mailing list.
I need to do the following: 1. Allow access to only a few web pages from only a few IP adresses. Its not a domain wide restriction but only to select few pages. 2. The web pages being requested could reside in jboss or in htdocs. Main requirement is to avoid hit to the app server for IP address check and make the decision to block or allow requests at the Apache httpd server layer itself. 3. If request is to be blocked a custom page need to be shown with an appropriate message. 4. The custom page to be shown for unauthorized access would differ based on the page requested for. 5. I considered configuring the <Directory ...> and .htaccess files but that does not seem to provide the detailed access control noted above. 6. Is it possible to make such changes and have them reflected without a server (apache httpd) restart? Thanks, Rommel I RTFM and STFW but as I noted earlier could not have a consolidated solution (did not look much in detail yet) so thought of posting to this group. thank you for the help in advance!
