mod_rewrite theory question

Calling all mod_rewrite gurus...... Calling all mod_rewrite gurus.....

I am looking to do something like this.

Let say an IP of 123.234.123.234 goes to my site. I want all traffic from that IP to be redirected to another URL. Who would that be done with mod_rewrite?

I have tried this

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^123.234.123.234
RewriteRule /* http://fbi.gov [R,L]

but to no avail it doesnt work.

I remember being able to do something like that but for the life of me can not remeber exactly. I have seen stuff for blog spammers and denying them but I want to redirect to another URL.

Kinda like if I told my to go to my site and the mod_rewrite would redirect him to a corperate site due to a rule with his static IP in the mod_rewrite.

Did I repeat myself or am I getting lost myself since it is now after 2:00 am EST and it is past my bed time and everything is starting to merge together on me.

enough of the bable from me now. Can it be done with mod_rewrite or am I crazy thinking that way?

Things that make you go hmmmmm!

You need REMOTE_ADDR or REMOTE_HOST depending on your requirements.

If the user clicks on some page on http://some-server, then HTTP_REFERER is some-server.

err, iam sleepy too...

Forgot the check the whole syntax. Janne Pikkarainen, nice that you spotted that . had to be escaped.

BTW, to express what i said earlier more clearly, HTTP_REFERER is the server that lead the user to your site.
