I assumed the directory tag was the home directory since the document route
is specified in the virtual host
DocumentRoot /var/www/site1

I tried adding location but this did not work, Error expected but saw

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Location/>
Deny from 61.
Deny from 202.
Deny from 203.
Deny from 210.214.
Deny from 220.224.
Deny from 220.225.
Deny from 220.226.
Deny from 220.227.
Deny from .in
Deny from .ru
</Location>
</VirtualHost>

Sorry i realised my own tag mistake <Location >

I am somewhat concerned now that my original directory config did not take
effect and location was needed. I am still unsure why this is.

I am not that bad . I had already RTFM

As a full example. Here is my Virtual host

DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache/share/site1
ServerName www.site1
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from 202.*.*.*
</Directory>

The fact the document root is specified the <directory> tag should therefore
cover this directory and all its subdirectories and therefore deny of ip
202.*.*.* should take effect imo
