RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} '^Mozilla' RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.blah.com/ [L,R] That would also block most legitimate traffic as well - most browsers report that they're a variant of Mozilla. Better to match on something more unique to that user agent, like RewriteCond

So of course, seeing a bunch of messages with that subject, I was somewhat curious why someone would want to deny access based on AGE... Ohh. Never mind. Maybe I don't want to know. The obvious: Age restrictions on pr0n. How Apache would tell the user's age is anyone's guess, but that would be
