sogclub being the domain that is hotlinking

xxx being my (i wish) hehe domain

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?sogclub.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://xxx.com/ [R,NC]

Also, can you insert ip in place of domain name with this format?
Thanks

ex:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?65.125.235.178.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://xxx.com/ [R,NC]

There's no difference between "(/)?.*" and simply ".*", they both accept the same strings. The problem is, neither of those two regexes reject anything, it's a useless bit in rewrite code that someone wrote early on and has been repeatedly copied. Numerical IP addreesses will have neither the "www." nor the ".com". So, I'd write this as:

<B>RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://65.125.235.178[NC, OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?sogclub.com[NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp)$ http://xxx.com/ [R,NC]</B>
