I have a few annoying customers trying to harras me. Normally I can block his specific ip, but this time his ISP can only provide a range of IP for us to block. Unfortunately we're inside that range as well.
I'm wondering how we can deny access to a certain range, but permits 1 IP from that to come through.
This is the range to be blocked:
2**.64.0.0/11
=
2**.64.0.0 - 2**.95.255.255
This one needs to come through:
2**.80.85.169
I have a few additions to do that as well...how can I calculate and split that range into 2 ranges?
Sorry for this short and blunt email, as I'm still trying to shut down his access and contact various agents to help us out.

If you use RewriteRule in mod_rewrite to block that IP range, then all you have to do is add one or more RewriteConds to exclude the specific IPs you want to allow within that range. The same thing is true if you use the Allow and Deny directives of mod_access.
You should also make sure that you always allow your custom 403 error page to be fetched; otherwise you will get an "infinite loop" of errors when you deny access.
