Hi Bob,

Regarding your question yesterday about using wild card characters in
host names, you can certainly do that.  For example, some first tier
radar sites use this allow line:
        
        allow   NEXRAD  ".*\.edu$"

so that they can act as a fail over for any host for the NEXRAD feed.

I've never tried using wild card characters to specify a range of IP
addresses, but in looking at the code it looks like it should work.  
Please let me know if you have a problem with that, or any other
questions.  If you'd like me to check out your conf file entry I'd be
happy to do that.

Anne
