mod_alias vs. conditinal configuration

This is regarding to http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/1427

The problem is that this config snippet:

        alias.url += ( "/a/" => "/home/olaf/a/" )

        $HTTP["remoteip"] == "127.0.0.1" {
	        alias.url += ( "/doc/" => "/usr/share/doc/" )
        }

        alias.url += ( "/b/" => "/home/olaf/b/" )

Does not do what anyone not familiar with lighttpd internals would
expect: the alias for "/b/" doesn't work. Moving it before the
conditional works. (When accessing via localhost).

The first reply to the ticket, from "moo", claims that this is
intentional. If so, it's a really strange decision, and undocumented.
Anyone want to comment? Jan?

Regards,
Steve
