Re: Blocking an IP Address

I've got egg on my face. It works just fine. I was looking at the log file to determine if the IP was still getting in. What I didn't realize was that the return code was 403--Forbidden, but it was still being logged.

I'm trying unsuccessfully to add a directive to the Apache server to block a range of IP addresses from 216.126.140.0 to 216.126.140.255. 

I've added the following code to the directory entry I'm trying to block:

   <Directory /qsys.lib/cgilib.lib/cgimain.pgm*/>
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow From all
   Deny From 216.126.140.0/255.255.255.0
   </Directory>
I've ended and restarted the server instance but the offending IP is still getting in. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? 

Thanks for your help.
