Allow directive with variables

[justin]

I am trying to use a variable with the `allow` directive, i.e.

    set $home_ip 1.2.3.4;

    location ^~ /apc/ {
      # Allow home
      allow $home_ip;

      deny all;

      include /etc/nginx/php.conf;
    }

But I am getting an error. Does the `allow` directive allow variables?
