Thanks for this Trevor. I had read this part of the manual as well as 
stuff on Directory etc before my original post. I pointed out in there 
that I could get similar behaviour using a Directory handler. 
Furthermore even leaving that aside I am not quite sure how this changes 
anything. I was using <Location /> precisely because I *do* want to 
restrict access to entire server. Futhermore I am not really concerned 
at present that Location may not be the best way to implement security 
(as detailed in the apache manual) but rather that the  Location 
directive seems to result in multiple calls to authenhandler with 
different url paths (as detailed in previous posts).
