IP exception to UA

[wilderness]

Jim or another,

Would the following be the correct procedure for a IP exception to a UA denial?

#deny UA with the exception of IP range
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^123\.456\.789\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} keyword
RewriteRule .* - [F]

thanks in advance.

That would only deny if both the IP address and the UA matched. You need to negate the IP address with a "!" -- That is, "Deny this UA if IP address is NOT 123.45.67.89"

Had it in there and omitted it when making afjustments ;)

Thus the following would be correct?

#deny UA with the exception of IP range
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR}!123\.456\.789\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} keyword
RewriteRule .* - [F]

or
#deny UA with the exception of IP range
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR}!^123\.456\.789\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} keyword
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Use the second version if the IP address starts with "123."
