@section ACL syntax
An ACL (Access Control List) specifies the address which are allowed
to access a given stream, or to write a given feed.
It accepts the folling forms
@itemize
@item
Allow/deny access to @var{address}.
@example
ACL ALLOW <address>
ACL DENY <address>
@end example
@item
Allow/deny access to ranges of addresses from @var{first_address} to
@var{last_address}.
@example
ACL ALLOW <first_address> <last_address>
ACL DENY <first_address> <last_address>
@end example
@end itemize
You can repeat the ACL allow/deny as often as you like. It is on a per
stream basis. The first match defines the action. If there are no matches,
then the default is the inverse of the last ACL statement.
Thus 'ACL allow localhost' only allows access from localhost.
'ACL deny 1.0.0.0 1.255.255.255' would deny the whole of network 1 and
allow everybody else.
