Here are the Valves which exist under Tomcat 7.0, the latest version.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/valve.html
Which one are you talking about, and which Tomcat version ?
Note that org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve can filter on the base of the client
/IP address/, not its hostname (as a careful read of the on-line documentation makes clear).
Note also that as well the org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteHostValve as the
org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve filter on the base of /regular expressions/,
and "*.googlebot.com" is not one of those.
In this particular case, "\.googlebot\.com$" would be better (with the
RemoteHostValve).
And finally, note also that this may be quite "expensive", in the sense that Tomcat may
need to do a couple of DNS lookups per client, to allow this to work.
In this particular case, would a "robots.txt" file in the ROOT of your server, not be
better ? Google bots should be well-behaved.

1. I am using wildcards in my IP addresses, such as:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
deny="*.googlebot.com"/>
From my reading of the documentation, this should be OK, but when this line is
present I cannot access any of my
servlets from any IP address. Do wildcards work here and, if so, what am I
doing wrong?
2. Is it possible for a give IP to permit access to some servlets while denying
access to others?
Thanks,
