Only allow certain (dynamic) IP's to visit website director

OK

I have 4 dynamic ips, in order to get those IP's I need run a gethostbyname('domain_name.com'); on 4 domain names I have that alwasy resolve to the only 4 IP's that are allowed to access this directory.

This is very easy for me to do on a PHP script on a page, but I am confused as how I can do it to a directory?

Thanks!!

Solution

  • AFAIK you can use hostnames in htaccess, like this:

    .htaccess:

    Deny From All
Allow From host1.com
Allow From host2.com
