Denying access for Sub Domain only

I like to block access to a subdomain to everyone except for one IP. I cannot drop an .htaccess file in this folder as the domain itself requires access. www.domain.com has access to the following directory /home/domain.com/public_html/photos sub.domain.com points and to this same directory /home/domain.com/public_html/photos If I place the following into that directory this blocks everything for both domains accessing it. order allow,deny deny from all allow from xx.xx.xx.xx Is there another options I can use so that www.domain.com ignores it and sub.domain.com reads it.

  You may be able to achieve what you want using a mod rewrite rule (perhaps using HTTP_REFERER ?) I would suggest you test for the domain with no prefix, and also the domain with the www prefix OR use an IF NOT sub.domain.com ...... Hope this helps mod_rewrite - Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4

  That is what I just finished adding. And tried it, all seems to be working. Just need to check the connecting server that has access. Thanks!
