title: Blocking multiple ip ranges using mod access in htaccess
body: <p>I read the guide from apache site but I'm a bit confused, I'm trying to ban some ranges using this syntax:</p>
  
  <pre>
  order allow,deny
  deny from 127.0.55.0/127.0.75.255
  deny from 127.0.235.0/127.0.255.255
  allow from all
  </pre>
  
  <p>But I think it's not working properly, probably the syntax is wrong or I'm using it in the wrong way, where should I write this text in htaccess? before the other lines or after? in the same htaccess file there're some mod rewrite script too (for anti-hotlinking).</p>
