Sorry Paul, I should have been more precise in explaining this :). I have some
restricted directories already that use htaccess. So yes it is set to look for
the htaccess file.

Yes, you are right. Instead of using the httpd.conf file, and entering the ip's
then restarting apache. I would rather have one file in the doc root that I can
change. I think I explained that right. :)
