Thanks for your reply.
Using the referrer, and I have 30 specific domains I want to allow to access a particular page, but any other referrer domain I do not want to allow to access that page, and i want to redirect access from those disallowed referrers to another specific page.
So can I put all 30 allowed domains in a "RewriteCond" statement or is there some better way to do that?

Subject: Re: Controlling access to web site based on domain nameYou're referring to controlling access via the referrer, which is trivial to spoof; I strongly recommend not using that approach.
The other concept to understand here is that you can require the traffic to match a certain rDNS value.
If you still want to match the referrer, you can do so with <If, expr or a RewriteCond.

Thanks for replying.
I think I may not have worded my question clearly...'
If I have web site ...
In the htaccess on that page I put something like ... Require def.com
And I want users from a link on the page somesite.def.com to be able to access mysite.abc.com by clicking on that link
But I dont want anyone from a link on a site named somesite.xyz.com to be able to access the homepaage on mysite.abc.com. I want to redirect them to mysite.abc.com/info.html
So any domain not explicitly listed in htaccess file will get redirected.

We would like to control access to a web site based on a listed domain and redirect any accesses from domains notlisted to a particular web page.
We need to be able to use the domain names and not IP addresses.
Is this something we should be able to do within .htaccess and using Rewrite for the redirect or do we need to use something else?
Thanks
