.htaccess inheritance

force child directory to inherit and not overwrite?

[dcrombie]

I've set up a "global" .htaccess file that resides in the parent directory to 50+ websites. It's used to block various UAs and IP addresses (for the usual reasons).

Problem: sites that have their own .htaccess files (eg. for URL rewriting) don't inherit the 'global' settings.

Is there a simple sol'n to this?
