[users@httpd] how can i filter fromout a list

[herauthon <he...@home.nl>]

Dear Enlisted Ones.

I would be pleased if i could exclude 
visitors because they have no return dns.
my very smart idea was to list allthose
without and make this a rule set for
exclusion - but i am sure there is 
yet smarter way..

enlighten me please..
show me the way

This is a silly (if I weren't so polite, I'd say "stupid") idea. It
will slow your server and won't increase security in any noticeable
way. But if you insist,

HostNameLookups On
SetEnvIf Remote_Host ^[0-9.]+$ noname
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Deny from env=noname
</Location>
