Using the command 'sed'

Hi guys hope u can help.

I have a file called test1.php as follows....

=================================================== test1.php

//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo1 #

                case 'menu3_it_auditing_computers.php':
                case '/simeswiki/menu3_it_auditing_disk.php':
                case '/simeswiki/menu3_it_auditing_groups.php':
                case '/simeswiki/menu3_it_auditing_networking.php':
                case '/simeswiki/menu3_it_auditing_users.php':
                case '/simeswiki/menu3_it_auditing_vmware.php':

//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo2 #
etc
etc
etc
==============================================================

What id like to do is to:

1) Use the command 'sed' to find the following string:
//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo1 #

2) Once found,
Remove all lines between
//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo1 #
and
//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo2 #

so the result is:

//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo1 #
//# ooIT-AUDITINGPLACEHOLDERoo2 #

Any help greatly appreciated.
I dont want a new file created, but just to modify this existing file.
Thank you.
