Mod Rewrite Hotlinking

[gaystoryman]

Got a question, well a two part question actually regarding using mod rewrite and anti hotlinking.

I want to be able to pull images from one domain to others, but deny anyone outside those domains from hotlinking to the images. So do I simply add this line with each domain name to the mod rewrite?

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?my-domain.com/ [NC]

Second question, do I need to modify the line in the domain that is pulling the images.

Say I want to pull images from my-domain-1 to my-domain-2 and my-domain-3, do I need to adjust the mod rewrite code that prevents hotlinking on those two domains to include the referring domain of images?

As you can tell, me no techie or geek, any comments, greatly appreciated.

Wherever you are hotlinking from simply add as many domains as you own like this...

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain1.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain2.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain3.com(/)?.*$     [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?domain4.com(/)?.*$     [NC] 

Then upload that to domain.com - Where that is the domain you are hotlinking from.

Is that what you mean?

No. Just on the domain with the image do you have to do anything.
