I'll write a script to check, all the IP's from at text file with "whois" and write the output out to another file, just to be sure. I don't know how long will it take, the file contains 26611-entries (IP addresses). You might be correct, Grant. Putting the IP's in apache .config file could be more efficient, instead of .htaccess file.
