Remember I said _matching_ IP... meaning if the above line
was in hosts.allow and client 192.168.1.1 did a mount
the client would be allow the mount without doing a lookup 
because there was a matching IP address entry... 

Now if client 192.168.1.2 did a mount, there would not be a 
IP matching entry in hosts.allow so a lookup would be necessary
to see if a 'mountd: <hostname>' exists in hosts.deny. 

Is that making sense?
