I have several named virtual hosts on the same apache server, for one of the virtual host I need to ensure only a specific set of IP addresses are allowed to access.
Please suggest the best way to do this. I have looked at mod_authz_hosts module but it does not look like I can do it inside virtual host.
The mod_authz_host
directives need to be inside a <Location>
or <Directory>
block but I've used the former within <VirtualHost>
like so for Apache 2.2:
<VirtualHost *:8080>
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Location>
...
</VirtualHost>
