OT: Apache .htaccess question

[Ashley M. Kirchner]

Looking for some gurus here.  I have the following snippet in my 
.htaccess file:

SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Host "some.domain.com" ref_ok=1
<FilesMatch ".(gif|jpe?g|png|css|inc|GIF|JPE?G|PNG|CSS|INC|js)">
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from env=ref_ok
</FilesMatch>

...which effectively prevents anyone from remote linking to any of 
those files anywhere on my web site (including those in sub-directories) 
except for 'some.domain.com'.  However, I want to _exclude_ a directory 
from that blanket matching:

$web-soot/.htaccess
    $web-root/thx/         <-- I want to exclude this directory and
                               everything else that may be below it.

Any ideas?

Just place a .htaccess file into web-root/thx/ directory which overrides
the restriction from the .htaccess above. For .htaccess files and it's
instuctions is checked from top to bottom in the file hierarchy.

Are you sure you don't want to be checking the referer header instead
on the remote host name?
