[users@httpd] Configuring htpasswd only for specific ServerAlias

Does anybody know if it's possible to apply htpasswd authentication to a 
particular directory ONLY if a specific ServerAlias is requested.

e.g. I have a single virtual host container, with 2 server aliases:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80>
         ServerName www.domain.com
	ServerAlias foo.domain.com

	<Directory /home/user/www>
	        AuthType Basic
	        AuthName "My Server"
	        AuthUserFile /home/user/.htpasswds
	        Require user myuser
	</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Basically I just want the htpasswd authentication to apply if the server 
name requested is foo.domain.com and not www.domain.com

I know this can be done by creating a new virtual host container for 
foo.domain.com instead of using a serveralias, but I'd rather not do 
that if possible.

Thanks

Ben

Yes I suppose so. I've also realised I now need to configure logging for 
each server alias separately, so it does make sense to create multiple 
virtual host containers and then Include a file containing all the 
common configuration directives

Thanks

Why not?  <VirtualHost> sections are designed for exactly this purpose.
