    I've got lots of IP address's being block in my htaccess file such as:

    ** NOTE the x's are numbers that have been removed for posting on this forum **

    deny from x7.x5.
    deny from x5.3x.1x2.0/24
    deny from x2.3x.231.114
    etc..

    However when I try the following I get a server error:

    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.64/96

    Why is this so?

    Are you sure that /96 is valid CIDR notation? Try using a netmask instead (e.g. 255.255.0.0).

    But I only want to ban a small renge of this IP for whole blocks.

    So is there a way round from not having to enter evry single IP when they are continous??

    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.64
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.65
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.66
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.67
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.68
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.69
    and on......
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.94
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.95
    deny from 2x6.1x9.1x0.96


    Thanks Ian
