We try to avoid restarting the apache
as few as possible,
so beside using the <location>
in httpd.conf, are there any other ways to do this? Or any third part product
that you know for this purpose?
Thanks again for your help!

You can't use .htaccess to restrict resources that don't come from the
filesystem.
Instead, in httpd.conf, use <Location>. See:
