[users@httpd] Cascading Allow/Deny directives

[Júlio Maranhão <julio@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't find in the manual if it is possible to cascade Allow/Deny directives.

I made some tests and I think it's not possible.

For instance:

<Directory "/">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

<Directory "/www">
    Options +Indexes
    Allow from example.com
</Directory>

In the above example the Options are cascaded but the Order/Allow/Deny from 
"/" are not considered. Actually "/www" are accessed from all.

My idea is to restrict the access from all and allow per <Directory>. But I 
have some domains that have access to many directories and probably I will 
repeat them for every <Directory>. Is there another way?

Cheers
