For example, why would that one start with "^" but not end with > "$" like many do? Google for regular expressions and you'll find tons of tutorials. The ^ indicates that the match must start at the beginning of the Remote_Addr. Since I don't know what is going to be at the end, I don't care about the last part and therefore don't use $ to indicate that the match finishes at the end of Remote_Addr. I could have equivalently (but less efficiently) used ^192\.168\..*$ to indicate that I'll accept anything at all after the 192.168 up to the end of the Remote_Addr.
