That is incorrect syntax. It will be looking for an explicit host name of '*n\.example.com'. That sort of wildcard expansion is not supported by Allow/Deny directive, see here for docs: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authz_host.html#allow If you need to do this sort of access checking (seems a bit nuts to me - you can escape it by changing your dns name?), then you must follow the example in the docs of setting an environment variable to denote whether access should be allowed, and then using that environment variable to allow/deny access. Eg: SetEnvIf Remote_Host *n\.example\.com bad_src_server=1 <Location /> Order deny,allow Deny from env=bad_src_server </Location> Cheers Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
