Hello,
I have a problem where someone is illegally linking to my site.
There site is in another language so I'm having trouble contacting
them. Is there any way that I can use PHP or Apache to stop them from
linking to these files directly on there website. This is an example
of a log entry that I get from their link:

85.65.154.185 - - [04/Sep/2005:06:52:40 -0700] "GET
/fonts/images/austrise.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 6094
"http://www.tipo.co.il/zone/page.asp?zone=41611880647891&pid=1044663"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)"

I've tried using mod_access with a simple directive in my <VirtualHost> like:

<Directory /home/da3/public_html/fonts>
Deny from 85.65.154
</Directory>


And that does not seem to work. I have mod_access installed and PHP 4.

I'm sorry if this is more of an apache question but it just seems like
it should be so easy and I can't find a single example of how to stop
this.
