Apache Security

When hosting an Apache web server for very concerned customers, authentication, authorization, and access control can all flood in the way. Some may even ask for host-based methods. Just keep in mind that Apache has its own way for them all, including where to write logs. Don't go mess with usual files like /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny, or /var/log/messages. Unless, of course, your boss told you to.
