.htaccess -- Serve different image based on IP range?

[tkroll]

Is it possible to serve a different image file to a browser based on IP range?

I can't use PHP or similar in this case. It will be a simple <img src='...'> tag.

Thanks!

why can't you use php?

mod_rewrite to redirect to different images:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/3.*
RewriteRule ^img\.jpg$ img.netscape.jpg [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^SomethingElse.*
RewriteRule ^img\.jpg$ img.otherbrowser.jpg [L]

All browsers I've used follow redirects for images and display them correctly, but perhaps older ones don't. Anyway, it's not a perfect way to do this, but if doing it at the source is not an option it is a solution.

Thanks chico. That's sort of what I'm looking for. Can this be done based on the IP instead of on the user agent?

yes - using REMOTE_ADDR.
