The following is in my httpd.conf file:
<Location /server-status>
# SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 65.6.155.180
</Location>
The apache web server with which I am dealing is about 30 miles away from
my house in a data center and is running on Solaris 9.
The IP I show the world from my house is not 65.6.155.180, yet I can still
access the web site.
