Joshua,

So, cand these be combined into one container somehow?

<Directory "/">
     Order Allow,Deny
     Allow from all
     Deny from env=block_bad_bots
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/*/www">
   Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
   # FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride Options All
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

-Grant
