using hotlink prevention

Question

I'm wondering how to target the picture in this following code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://dooomain.com/.*$     [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.dooomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*.jpg$ -                           [L]

not really sure where I have to insert the jpg file!! is it in the web root folder or where?

Thanks

Update #1

ok, maybe I found something to my answer, but not sure so please guys correct me if I'm wrong...

here is the code I should add instead of the last line in my main post:

RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ https://www.mydooomain.com/pic.gif [R,L]

and I need to place the picture in the root in this case, is that right???

Thanks

The last rule above is fine. But rewritecond can be done in a single line.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(?:$|http://domain.com|http://www.domain.com) [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg)$ https://www.mydomain.com/pic.gif [R,L]

@Digitalsite, you might also consider [R=301,L] or make sure that the Expires on `pic.gif` is access plus 1 month min, if you are getting at lot of these. – TerryE Feb 23 '12 at 08:44

yes @TerryE is right. `R=301` will minimize some if not all requests. – ThinkingMonkey Feb 23 '12 at 08:46
