[ale] Apache

The following is in my httpd.conf file:


<Location /server-status>
#   SetHandler server-status
     Order deny,allow
     Deny from all
     Allow from 65.6.155.180
</Location>

The apache web server with which I am dealing is about 30 miles away from 
my house in a data center and is running on Solaris 9.

The IP I show the world from my house is not 65.6.155.180,  yet I can still 
access the web site.
