Apache RewriteCond on REMOTE_ADDR ignored

With stronghold/4.0c, (Apache/1.3.22), a simple RewriteCond on
REMOTE_ADDR appears to be ignored i.e. the rules are applied even if
the condition is not met.

The relevant directives (in a VirtualHost section) are:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^172\.16\.248\.57$
RewriteRule ^/click/(.*) /portal_test/click/$1
RewriteRule ^/etrack/(.*) /portal_test/etrack/$1
RewriteRule ^/item/(.*) /portal_test/item/$1
RewriteRule ^/map/(.*) /portal_test/map/$1
RewriteRule ^/market_apply/(.*) /portal_test/market_apply/$1
RewriteRule ^/shopping/(.*) /portal_test/shopping/$1

The goal is to rewrite requests for the specified resources which are
received from one particular IP Address (172.16.248.57) to test
versions in another directory.

The problem is not with the rewrites, they work fine. Unfortunately
they work fine for ALL IP addresses and not just 172.16.248.57.

Any suggestions as to what I've done wrong or what else to check?

Many thanks in advance for any assistance,

George

The RewriteCond is only valid for the first RewriteRule.
