Is htaccess HACKER proof?

Hi all,

I wanted to find out how 'really' secure htaccess is.

A client of mine wants to secure their content by only allowing
access from customers from certain ISPs/ipaddresses only.

They want to do this WITHOUT having to use passwords, so that
valid users automatically have access to the content. Hence they don't have to manage records of millions and millions of users.

Now my question. How secure is .htaccess? Will it keep out all invalid users other than the say expert hackers or can a relatively inexperienced hacker (from an invalid ISP) get to the content despite htaccess?

thanks in advance
Mike
