It seems to be a bug in apache-1.2.6-5, the access control does not work properly. I use a Linux system as a firewall, connecting to two networks. If I define as following order deny,allow deny from all allow from 194.203.16. it does not work in apache-1.2.6-5, but it works fine in apache-1.2.6-4 allowing only host in the network to connect to the server. By using the apache-1.2.6-5 it has no meaning. At the moment I use the apache-1.2.6-4, but as You know there is another bug.
I was unable to get this to fail in the latest release of Apache-1.3.3-1. Try the newer version and see if it works for you.
Looks like the same as bug#8262 I use apache 1.3.9-8
