htaccess show one page to certain IP

Question

We are working on a development site and want to show a holding page to all visitors whilst we make the final changes.

Can I use htaccess to show one index page to the outside world and the main index to our internal team?

Yes. See bottom two answers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4400154/htaccess-deny-all-allow-only-one-ip — Paul Gregory, Feb 05 '14 at 09:30

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^1\.2\.3\.4$
RewriteRule ^ maintenance.html [L]

This says if the remote address is not 1.2.3.4, answer any request with maintenance.html.
