It also worth to clarify the Apache version in question, as it's a
major change between 2.2 and 2.4 that Allow, Deny directives got
deprecated, and should be updated to Require. Some recent Linux
distros and FreeBSD already ship 2.4, so I think it's time to get
familiar with its features and caveats.

I know the question is how to solve access control in Apache, but in
this particular case I'd also consider to make the distinction at
PHP-level. Most PHP-based websites do that and don't rely on the web
server config to do proper access control.

Be prepared to also account for IPv6 addresses, if your web server
also serves over IPv6.
