Another point: Are you sure you are accessing the resource via this VH? I notice it's a cgi-bin directory... Is there another VH container that could be allowing access via a ScriptAlias or something?
The point I'm making is that your access control is only valid in the scope of <VirtualHost anaconda.localhost.com:80> BTW - I guess you are obscuring a real domain name there? NB - it's a bad idea to put a FQDN in a VH, it's better to use an IP address (with an FQDN, apache needs functinal DNS to start. And it's slower).
