[users@httpd] Altering what the internet (but not intranet) sees for a vhost
I've looked at the deny/allow but that doesn't seem really right. I
don't want to deny access to a vhost, if you're from the internet. I
want to change what you're seeing.
My scenario is that I'm doing maintenance on a website, and so I still
need to be able to access it from "inside the building", but everyone
else in the world should see a temporary page stating "the site is down
for maintenance".
I'm just not finding the right part of the docs, I think. Can anyone
give a hint?

Yah, ok. I thought it wouldn't apply to the subrequest. There are lots
of ways to get around this too, including putting the following AFTER
the first <Location> block:
<Location /underconstruction.html>
Allow from all
</Location>

When I try this, and via a connection to the outside world, try to
access the site, I get:
-| Forbidden
-| You don't have permission to access / on this server.
-|
-| Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to
-| use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If I "Deny from all" the "/" Location, does that mean that I can't
server the ErrorDocument from there either?

There are lots of different ways to do this. Here's a relatively simple one:
<Location />
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from intranet.example.com
ErrorDocument 403 /underconstruction.html
</Location>
Alternatively, you could use mod_rewrite, or, if you dedicate a
different IP address to the server for intranet and internet
connections, you could put each in a different <VirtualHost>.
