Syntax for denying a list of IP ranges in .htaccess

mod_access "Deny from" syntax question

[skateboard]

Howdy folks,
I have a list of about 100 IP rangess I want to deny in my .htaccess file, and my question is about syntax.

Do I need to write
Order Allow, Deny
allow all
deny 1.2.3.4/20
deny 1.3.4.5/20
etc....

Or can I write
Order Allow, Deny
allow all
deny(all,[
1.2.3.4/20
1.3.4.5/20
])

What is the delimeter between IPs in this type of expression? Are the parens and square brackets correct?

Thanks,

I've never seen that syntax before, at least not in the mod_access documentation [httpd.apache.org]. The accepted syntax is to use a space-delimited list, and "from" is required:

Order Allow, Deny
Allow from All
Deny from 1.2.3.4/20 192.168.0.10 127.0.0 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0
