The allow directive affects which hosts can access a given directory.
<EM>Host</EM> is one of the following:
</P>
<DL>
<DT><CODE>all</CODE>
<DD>All hosts are allowed access
<DT>A (partial) domain-name
<DD>Hosts whose names match, or end in, this string are allowed access.
<DT>A full IP address
<DD>An IP address of a host allowed access
<DT>A partial IP address
<DD>The first 1 to 3 bytes of an IP address, for subnet restriction.
<DT>A network/netmask pair (<STRONG>Apache 1.3 and later</STRONG>)
<DD>A network a.b.c.d, and a netmask w.x.y.z. For more fine-grained subnet
restriction. (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
<DT>A network/nnn CIDR specification (<STRONG>Apache 1.3 and later</STRONG>)
<DD>Similar to the previous case, except the netmask consists of nnn
high-order 1 bits. (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16 is the same as 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)

Example:

All hosts in the specified domain are allowed access.

Note that this compares whole components; <CODE>bar.edu</CODE>
