For domain, deny and replace with image

[johnnyk]

I don't know much about .htaccess and I never learned about mod_rewrite or whatever that fancy thing is.

What I want to do is deny from a certain domain. Instead of a 403 page, I want anyone who is from that domain to see an image when they go to my site. Any idea how that would happen?

Your going to have to set there ip address as deny and block them from your apache page. Once this is done update the error 404 page and put in the picture.

[johnnyk]

But I want the blocked domains to get a different 403 (or 404 or whatever it is) than everyone else.

[oldmanice]

Yes you have to update your error 404 pages for those domians only.

[johnnyk]

Isn't there a way to do it using something like:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} [i]whatever[/i]
RewriteRule [i]whatever[/i]

johnnyk sorry mate I really dont know what you want to do now Im not the right person for that.

[johnnyk]

OK I'll try to make sense. I want any visitors from a certain host to see an image instead of the website. Is there a way to do that using only .htaccess?

[oldmanice]

Do you mean that those certian users that you want blocked you want them to see a image. Yes you have to modifey the 404 error page for those users and put the image in the 404 error page.
