Htaccess on in certain directories, but off in sub directories query

[Brent Clark <brentgclarklist@xxxxxxxxx>]

Good day

I currently have .htaccess on by default in my apache config.

As a result, if you do a strace, you see the following example.

stat64("/var/www/vb/css/dhtml_menu.css", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, 
st_size=10025, ...}) = 0
open("/var/www/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
open("/var/www/vb/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/www/vb/css/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/var/www/vb/css/dhtml_menu.css/.htaccess", 
O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory)
open("/var/www/vb/css/dhtml_menu.css", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = 30

I would like to look to minimizing all these look ups for a non existing 
file.

I unfortunately cannot disable htaccess all together, for I need 
htaccess to do various tasks in various locations.

I did a quick find to locate all my htaccess's.

/var/www/news/.htaccess
/var/www/blogs/.htaccess
/var/www/classifieds/data/11/thumbs/.htaccess
/var/www/general/.htaccess
/var/www/nephp/.htaccess
/var/www/photos/data/.htaccess
/var/www/vb/clientscript/ckeditor/.htaccess
/var/www/events/.htaccess

The question I would like to ask is. If I set 'AllowOverride None' for 
/var/www.
How would I enable for, say. '/var/www/news/', but not all its sub 
directories.

I hope I have explained my situation and question clearly, but if not, 
please dont hesitate to ask me to rephrase.

Thank you if you can help.

Regards
Brent Clark
