This matches on a first come first serve basis along the lines of ipfw,
therefore you need to place your ALLOW rules /before/ your DENY rules for
them to work as you want them to. So in other words:

ALL : some.hostname : allow
ALL : ALL : deny

See hosts_access(5) and hosts_options(5) for more, hope that helps.
