It looks like both do support extended regular expressions, but > I'm confused as to which to use. First, you should probably use <Directory> or <DirectoryMatch> if you are matching directories in the filesystem. Second, the "Match" sections use Perl-compatible regular expressions (in 2.0), while the non-Match sections use fnmatch style wildcards, not regular expressions. This is all documented here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/sections.html#file-and-web Which one you want to use depends on the complexity of your pattern.
