Inline includes for httpd.conf?

Question

Let's say I have a file list_of_naughty_ip_blocks.conf. Can I use the include directive to achieve the equivalent of line 8 below in my httpd.conf? If so, what is the proper syntax? Anything to note about the formatting & syntax of list_of_naughty_ip_blocks.conf?

SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "FNetwork" UnwantedRobot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "NG 1.x" UnwantedRobot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "larbin" UnwantedRobot

<Directory "/var/www/">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=UnwantedRobot
    Deny from "list_of_naughty_ip_blocks.conf"
</Directory>

Edited for clarity.

Answer 1

Just have the "Deny from" keyphrase in the include file:

<Location /secret/>
  Order Allow,Deny
  Allow from all
  Deny from env=UnwantedRobot
  Include conf.d/moredeny.inc
</Location>

In moredeny.inc

Deny from 192.168.1.1
Deny from 192.168.66.1
Deny from 192.168.1.1

Answer 3

A 'dirty' way is use sed to append a line after env=UnwantedRobot pattern. Assuming that you have the following in httpd.conf:

<Directory "/var/www/">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=UnwantedRobot
</Directory>

and the ip.txt file includes:

1.2.3.4
5.6.7.8

run the following command:

$ while read ip; do sed -i '/env=UnwantedRobot/ a\ 
                    \tDeny\ from\ '"$ip"'' httpd.conf; done < ip.txt

you will get the results:

<Directory "/var/www/">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=UnwantedRobot
    Deny from 5.6.7.8
    Deny from 1.2.3.4
</Directory>

• -i means edit file in place
• a stand for append
