ip filteration at runtime

["Ammar M.Ibrahim" <am...@hotmail.com>]

i'm trying to write some sort of ipfilter on a server wide scope.
i'm writing the administration's interface with PHP. what i did is simply i 
open the access.conf with php and add the following line

deny from <ip address>

this works fine, but i need to restart the server everytime i need to update 
the list.. is there a work around? i need to make such filteration but 
without the need to restart the server!

thanks in advance

I don't know about your specific question but, there may be workarounds.  For 
example, you could serve your admin application from a Virtualhost that 
listens to a different port and then block access to that port with a 
firewall that can be dynamically updated (like Linux netfilter if you're 
running on Linux).  You might also want to handle access in the application 
itself.
