you can't, unless you start relying on cookies/sessions/... In that last
case, you have to set a short-life cookie for the user on
mysite/index.htm and check for that cookie on mysite/forum/* needless to
say that it's not very effective, and that it may become a real pain for
users.

Make use of the environment variables, Referrer, SetEnvIf, and AllowFrom in
a container.


I'd have to play around with it some but I'm sure someone else can give you
something a lot better, or give you some code to work with.
