Apache with additional access file (.htaccess)

[Norbert Schuetz <norbert_schuetz@bigfoot.com>]

Hi folks

Is there any way to have Apache process an *additional* access file,
possibly with it's won allow override settings?

Say, we have /var/wwwdata/domain/htdocs/.htaccess as usual
and have /var/wwwdata/domain/.htanother processed as well?

TIA!
