Ah, ignore me. I'm being a muppet :| I have that working fine, is it possible to change the error message for the denied request to say something else, such as "Denied, please use local tools to access this resource."?

I'd like to prevent any access to these url's as their only use is within the file system only not for web server use. Is there something I can place within httpd.conf to do this, as I use VirtualHosts too and this needs to be in effect for those too.
