Re: Conditional Blocks based upon Remote IP Address

[Clint Priest <cpriest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the detailed options, awesome.  The #2 option, is that coming 
in an upcoming release or is that 3.0?  Any idea when that might be 
available?

Is there any way to have some directives apply only to certain remote ip addresses?  I would like to enable a few things only for a certain set of IP addresses.

Answer 1 (simple): no.

Answer 2 (FWIW): yes, but not in any stable release.  In the trunk
version of apache, you can use an
<If "... evaluate your _expression_ ...">
block to do that.

Answer 3: (ugly, and more likely to lead to madness than a solution
for most): use mod_rewrite.  This is an esercise in programming,
with a horrible programming language, but you can do it with
RewriteCond as "if" and RewriteRule as "goto".  That leaves you to
manage different URL target spaces with different configurations.

Answer 4: (probably easier than 3) - Write a module, or hack it in
your choice of scripting language.

Answer 5: (another hack, but simpler than 3 if there are just two
cases) - Use Allow/Deny to select IP addresses, and then use a
script or .asis ErrorDocument to return a non-error response when
the request is supposed to be denied.
