Martijn,
Maybe I'm missing something, but in this case wouldn't using .htaccess
be a good approach?

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to solve this for the last 2 days, but somehow I'm
unable to see the logic here. Hope anyone can help me explain what's
going on:
I've got a few directories, lets say they're named A, B, C and D.
Two of these (A and B) need to be restricted.
I figured that this should be done by the following regexp:
<Directory ~ "/home/websites/(A|B)">
To my knowledge, this should match /home/websites/A or /home/websites/B .
Instead, Apache matches everything in /home/websites and blocks access
to C and D as well.
Strange, since a very similar regexp is shown in the apache 1.3
documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#location
I also tried using (A|B)/? and several ways of matching the start and
end of the string using ^ and $ , but to no effect.
In an attempt to isolate the problem, I tried something else:
<Directory ~ "(/home/websites/A|/home/websites/B)">
But strangely, this DOES match A but NOT B, so now I'm confused.
I've checked the path and I'm sure there are no mistakes there.
If I'm not using a regexp, eg. <Directory "/home/websites/A"> (or B),
everything works like it should, so my guess would be that the
contents of the directory-directive are right, only the regexp is the
problem.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Martijn.
