Fine-tuning .htaccess

First, thanks for your help setting up my .htaccess file; it's working really well.
Now that it's up and running, I need to fine-tune it a little. What I need to do is allow access to MOST of a block of address, but deny just a couple. My file looks like this:
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 123.45.678.
allow from {a bunch of other individual IPs}

So what I now need to do is deny from 123.45.678.44, 123.45.678.62, 123.45.678.91, 123.45.678.104.

My questions is where do I put my "deny" lines? Before allowing the rest of the block? After allowing the rest of the block? Can I even do it this way?

Thanks in advance!


 
I think you want to use "order allow,deny" so you can say:

order allow,deny
allow from 123.45.678.0/24
allow from {the rest}
deny from 123.45.678.44 123.45.678.62 123.45.678.91 123.45.678.104

It evaluages all the allows, and if it is not denied it succeeds.

(The deny from all is implicit)
